The Nelson Neptune Swim Club came away with some solid results at the regional swim meet in Castlegar earlier this month.
“Regionals went really well. A lot of our swimmers ended up on the podium in first, second or third, which means they qualify for provincials,” said head coach Michelle Lorusso.
As a result, six swimmers and two coaches from Nelson will be headed to provincials in Richmond later this month.
“A lot of them got best times. Sage Cowan and Samuel Matthew both swam really well, and had huge best times. Everyone did really well for the end of the season and achieved their goals,” said Lorusso.
Looking ahead to provincials she said the swimmers are looking at getting best times and maybe making finals.
