Racing highlights from Coach Adam Schwarz and Coach Lily Dong
Silver 2, Silver 3, Silver 4, Gold 4 - TSC sent 15 swimmers from our Gold and Silver streams to race this past weekend at the Cindy Nicholas Swim Classic in Scarborough. All four groups together boasted an impressive 86% best times with some swimmers posting huge drops! We had many heat winners and an event winner in the 100 Butterfly. Everyone we sent to the meet had an amazing showing with each person scoring one top 6 swim!
Margaret had a perfect meet, swam all top 6 including 1st in 100 fly, 2nd in 400Free
Dennis, John, and Marie also swam a perfect meet, each with several top 6 swims.
Marie and Kira had their first ever 400free as their very first swim in 2012, and finished very strong with 3rd and 4th respectively.
Joshua and Spencer both broke the 30 second mark on the 50m Freestyle. Spencer rocketing down the pool right alongside another swimmer to show the true racing spirit of the water; Joshua leading off the 200m Freestyle Relay gave TSC a solid head start while speeding to the sub thirty mark in a lighting fast relay heat.
New to the TSC family, Michelle and Cameron raced in their first swim meet this weekend. Michelle had an incredible swim in the 200 Individual Medley; After being passed in the Backstroke leg of the race, she battled back an entire body length in the Freestyle portion to out touch her opponent and win her heat. Cameron had an amazing swim in the 100 Breastroke; hitting all of his pullouts off of every wall, he fought his way through a fast race to win his heat.
Kimia had 100% best times in her races while Jack had a solid showing in both the relays to help TSC place higher on the podium.
Emerson had top six placings in all his races and used his blistering speed to round out our relay teams.
Aside from all the great swims we had this weekend, there was amazing team sprit seen throughout the meet. Our true TSC colours showed on Friday Night when everyone stayed on deck to cheer until the last TSC swimmer was out of the water!
