Eight Tier 1 swimmers participated in the timers clinic on Saturday after practice, enabling them to be Level 1 Officials!
On Sunday all eight arrived on time for the Vernon Master Meet, all in white Tee-shirts! Very impressive.
They did a phenomenal job as timers. This meet could not have gone forward without them.
All these kids can take pride in helping out and knowing that they had a hand in raising 700.00-800.00 for
