By Agatha On January 31, we had our fourth time trial - but it looked different than usual. Each group was timed separately and followed COVID protocols set by pools and Swim BC. Although not the typical time trial, the younger swimmers were still able to get a taste of racing and see how much they improved since the last one. Many swimmers were able to achieve best times! Good job everyone!
