Otters open season in Revelstoke
Merritt Otters swimmers were in the pool again this past weekend, competing at a one-day meet in Princeton.
Head coach Leroy Slanzi said that the Princeton event was a great one for the local club’s new swimmers as there were no stroke judges.
“Our new kids gained a lot of confidence, and set a host of best times in their events,” Slanzi stated.
“Delbert Black (above) led the way for all our swimmers, competing in his first meet and winning all of his heat races while setting personal best along the way.”
The next meet for the Otters is on the June 27-28 weekend in Kelowna.
