Summer Swim Team
It’s hard to believe we’re already over halfway through the summer swim season. However, what isn’t hard to believe, is the big splash the Canada Games Centre Swim Academy (CGCSA) is making in the pools! The Summer Swim Team has competed in three swim meets so far; one in Windsor, another in Bridgewater and the latest in Halifax at the Waeg. The results have been outstanding, as swimmers set new CGCSA records and qualified for the upcoming Provincial competitions!
