Despite having a very bad cold, Simone had an incredibly successful weekend at Provincial Championships. This competition formally ends the short course season (25 meter pool distance swims) for most swimmers however, Simone’s success means she will be quite busy in Sr. National short course competitions April and May.
These are her results (1 Gold; 4 Silver; 1 Bronze):
50 Free – Gold medal and new provincial champion with a time of 26.86 seconds. (down from previous time of 27.44). She is now #8th in Canadian Power rankings.
100 Free – Silver medal, time 57.88 (down from previous time of 59.58) – #7 in Canada Power rankings.
100 Backstroke – Silver medal with a time of 1:03.93 (down from previous time of 1:06.05) – #4 in rankings.
This time qualified for Sr. National standard!! Simone’s time also establishes a new Toronto Swim Club record, smashing the previous record of 1:05.57.
100 Butterfly- Simone finished 8th overall at finals with a time of 1:06.98 (down from 1:08.09) – now ranked #19th, was previously #39.
Other medal successes:
SILVER medal – 4×50 meter Girls 14 Medley Relay (Simone swam the 50 Backstroke and did a personal best which counts)
SILVER medal – 4X50 meter Girls 14 Free Relay (Simone swam the first leg)
BRONZE medal – 4×100 meter Girls 14 Free Relay (Simone swam the first leg)
The additional conditioning work she does during PEAC time, has really made her a lot stronger in all of her strokes and she has a lot more power when she turns off the walls – so we thank you Mr. N, for the work you have been doing with her at PEAC.
