The Nanaimo White Rapids enjoyed life in the fast lane at their big summer meet last month. A huge contingent of athletes from the local club swam to fast finishes at the Nanaimo White Rapids Invitational Meet from June 26-28 at Kin Pool at Bowen Park.

“It was awesome to have such a large portion of our club out at the meet, and all ages, from Div. 1 all the way up to Div. 8 having great racing,” said Gareth Saunders, coach of the White Rapids. “Things are looking really good moving forward."

The meet was a major undertaking, with around 450 swimmers from Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland.

“A meet like that doesn’t come together without a huge parent volunteer group dedicating a lot of time,” Saunders said.
