It’s championship time for Middlesex Swimming athletes of all ages and levels, and they’ve been busy preparing for their competitions, which started in February and run through April.
To help prepare for their championship events, a group of Middlesex swimmers and water polo players – of all ages – made the trip to Stuart, Florida for a week (Dec. 28 to Jan. 4) to attend a training camp. The athletes trained for four hours a day, focusing on both skills and fitness.
In February, Middlesex swimmers competed in a pair of meets – the Ontario Winter Festival Championships in Etobicoke, ON (Feb. 18-19), for provincially-ranked swimmers 14 and under, and the Western Region Swimming Championships in London (Feb. 24-26), which hosted regionally-ranked swimmers aged 8 to 17.
The Club will be even busier in March, competing in three championship events: the Ontario Age Group Championships in Brantford, ON (March 2-5) for provincially-ranked swimmers aged 13 to 17; the Ontario Masters Provincial Championships in Markham, ON (March 24-26) for swimmers aged 18 and up; and the – March 25-26: March Madness Water Polo Tournament in Etobicoke, ON (March 25-26) for players aged 11 to 17.
In April, it will be the Polopalooza Water Polo Tournament (Apr. 8-9) in Toronto, ON, for players aged 18 and up. It’s a busy time in the pool indeed! Best of luck to all Middlesex Swimming athletes at their championship competitions!
