Jr. Pan Pacs Day 1

Aloha from Oahu! We are here in beautiful Oahu at the Junior Pan Pacific Championships at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Centre.

Prelims went well with mostly best times from all the swimmers. It was a gorgeous sunny day and I had to laugh at the fact we were at a championship meet and they were looking for timers to start the prelims! I guess it is universal.

The meet is set up with A and B finals and the rules of the meet state that there can be no more than three swimmers in total for the A and B finals and no more than two per one final so Canada was able to have most A finals with two swimmers which was great.

Unfortunately for the finals it poured rain the whole evening but didn't dampen the spirit of the ever cheering Canadian squad.

We had some close fourth and fifth place finishes and best times overall which was excellent. Will was able to swim to a Bronze medal finish in the 1500 free which was a great finish to day one.

More updates coming,
Nancy
