Pincher Creek's Dolphins Swim Club traveled to the first swim meet of the season hosted in Brooks by the Brooks Barracudas Swim Club on Saturday, June 1.  22 Dolphins competed against swimmers from 7 other towns and ended up winning the Net Aggregate Points Award for the event, which is calculated by total team points divided by number of swimmers representing the club.   The Dolphins averaged over 17 points per swimmer.

The Dolphins took all 3 medals in the 13/14 Boys category. Gold medals at the Brooks meet were earned by Dolphins Jarret Plant, Chris Alexander, and Hannah Nazarek.

The Dolphins amassed an incredible number of personal bests at the event, made even more remarkable by the fact that the bests they were beating were achieved at the end of last season when they were in peak condition.  The stage has been set for a remarkable season.
