The team gathered at the Salmon Arm pool this past weekend to test their hard work and dedication so far this season.
Practice paid off as all Sockeyes achieved new individual best times as well as technical improvements.
Since the competition was at home, many Sockeyes came to brave the racing waters and test their personal limits as they competed against kids from eight other teams around the region.
