The Prince George Barracuda Swim Club welcomed competitors to the three-day long Dental Course Meet at the Aquatic Centre over the weekend.
The meet began Friday afternoon at 4 p.m. and featured 153 swimmers from nine clubs in Prince George, Williams Lake, Quesnel, Smithers, Kitimat, Terrace, Prince Rupert, and Nanaimo.
It was the first long course (50-metre) meet for most of the attending swimmers and served as a qualifying event for the North/Interior summer divisional championships in Kelowna, held June 27–29.
It also provided racers a chance to achieve qualifying standards needed to compete in the summer provincial championships in Vancouver, scheduled for July 17-20. B
Among the Barracudas who took part in the meet were Katherine Bauman, Gavin Hall, Emily Belshaw, Zoe Amar, Claire Milne and Tim James.
The divisional title meet happens later in June and the Kamloops Invitational is June 13-15.
