Semi Serious Masters & NYAC Cup Swim Meet Review

Middlesex Swimming would like to congratulate our 9 masters swimmers that raced in either the 2025 NYAC Cup held at TPASC or the Charlie Lane Semi Serious swim meet that was held in Etobicoke this past weekend!!!! 

To start the weekend off one of our masters swimmers Dominic Lee was racing in the NYAC Cup which started on Friday and ended on Sunday at the Toronto Pan Am Sport Centre, as he attempts to make the Usports times this 2025-2026 season and remake the University of Western Men's swimming team! Dominic swam very close to his personal best times to start the season off from almost 2 years ago and also made a couple of finals at the competition. Additionally, he was able to remake qualifying for the Ontario Age Group Championships in March and is now another step closer along his journey to achieving his goals this swim season!

Congratulations on your performances this past weekend Dominic and we look forward to seeing what you can do in the pool at your next swim meet :)

Meanwhile on Sunday, November 16th, 8 of our masters’ swimmers were taking advantage of the 2nd Masters swim meet of the 2025-2026 season which was hosted by EOMAC in Etobicoke to have some fun, connect with our aquatic friends, and to enjoy some serious as well as not so serious racing and relays.

Our group of Masters swimmers ended up totaling loads of wonderful performances at the Charlie Lane Semi Serious swim meet, everyone placed top 8 or higher in their respective age categories and events, and even some of the masters swam to record breaking performances, which is really exciting to see this early in the season with the 3 new club records that were set at the competition!!! Additionally, the club had Bradley McLeod participating in his 1st ever masters swim meet. Bradley did amazing and we hope he that he has caught the bug to continue on taking part in many more masters events to come in the future. However, the most important parts of the swim meet (as it should always be no matter your age) was that everyone swam their best, made new friends, pushed themselves outside of their comfort zones, and ended the competition off with some excellent food and time to socialize. 

Congratulations again everyone of your performances this past weekend you all did incredibly well!

The club would like to ensure that we provide our many thanks to the Etobicoke Olympium Masters Aquatic Club (EOMAC), the North York Aquatic Club (NYAC), and all of the volunteer officials for helping to run these excellent competitions for our swimmers this past weekend! As always, many thanks to everyone who assisted in putting this event together, as we know that many unseen hours of sacrifice and hard work take place behind the scenes in order to run swim meets and provide everyone with memorable experiences that last for many years to come.  

Finally, the club would like to thank our dedicated coaching staff who take loads of time out of their weekends to ensure everyone was very well looked after whether at the swim meets or back at practice.
