Bree Cooper shone as she represented the Shuswap Swimming Team at the Swim BC ‘AAA’ Short Course Provincial Championships in Victoria on the Feb. 28 to March 3 weekend, where more than 750 swimmers aged 18 and under competed.

Cooper had a great meet, as she advancing to the finals for 15- year-old girls in several events. Her swims were fast, eclipsing four team records, and she raced even faster than she did at the Western Canadian National Championships in Saskatoon in February.

Cooper advanced to the final of the 50-metre freestyle race where she placed eighth; to the final of the 200-m and 100-m breaststroke where she placed sixth and eighth respectively, and she narrowly missed the finals in the 200-m butterfly.

Her time in the 200-m breaststroke met the Swimming Canada Western National Qualifying time standard.
