Eight of Shuswap Swimming’s newest swimmers voyaged to Westbank this past Saturday to test their talents at the Liquid Lightning Spring Jamboree.
Jamborees are meets held at the regional level for new and developing swimmers. Swimmers strive to achieve a ‘regional’ standard at these meets to demonstrate their readiness to advance to the regional invitational level.
The meets are also designed to foster and nurture the joy of swimming.
Linden McCallum, 13, and Paige Rasmuson-Saitz, 11, each raced to sub-four-minute times in the 200-metre individual medley to meet the regional standard. Also competing for Shuswap were: Holly McCallum, 11; Austin Lawrance, 12; Nicole Congdon, 12; Rylee Grossman, 13; Jada Maas, 10; Eva Mosher, 9; and Teagan Webster-Locke, 10.
Each swimmer competed in five races within three hours.
