The Mies Shootman Invitational, hosted by the Canadian Dolphins Swim Club, remembers the substantial contribution of its namesake. Mies Shootman, who was inducted into the B.C. Swimming Hall of Fame, was a huge contributor in provincial swimming.
The Richmond Rapids Swim Club attended the meet in her honour.
The Rapids had 62 athletes attend the meet and had 26 achieve 100 per cent personal bests. Kevin Ye, 12, from Richmond set a new record in the boys 12-year-old 200 IM.
Rapids' Coach Drew McClure's 13 and under swimmers were one of a large group of Rapids swimmers who achieved both second swims in finals and some medals at the meet.
"It's great to see the kids so enthusiastic about swimming," McClure said.
Swimmers now prepare for the West Coast Open, which is hosted out of Watermania this weekend. For more information, visit www.richmondrapids.com or call 604-275-7946.
