AGI (Short Course) 2025

The AGI short course meet from November 27–30 was our first 3.5-day competition and included a distance session on the evening of Day 1. With heats and finals for 13&O and timed finals for 12&U, the meet placed high physical and mental demands on the athletes. Many 13&O swimmers raced 10+ events across prelims and finals, often with short turnarounds and a mix of sprint, middle-, and long-distance races, and continued to perform at a high level throughout the weekend.

Relay events were a major highlight of the meet, adding excitement to each session and providing valuable team-racing experience against strong GTA clubs. Podium finishes were achieved across multiple age groups in the 4×50 freestyle and medley relays: 10&U Boys – Silver (Tim X, Harry F, Wellington M, Max BY); 11/12 Girls – Bronze (Alex GF, Eliza L, Abigail F, Chloe F); 11/12 Boys – Silver (Nikkolai T, Sky Q, Cole B, Miran D); 13/14 Boys – Gold (Ethan W, Zade M, Sebastian H, Chris R); 15&O Girls – Bronze (Sunny X, Mia T, Athena L, Aly L, Megan B, Sophie R); and 15&O Boys – Silver (Nathan L, Lucas LB, Rhys B, Aris C, Beckett S). These relays reinforced the importance of racing for the team across all age groups.

Individually, the team earned 21 gold, 37 silver, and 28 bronze medals. Medalists included Cole B, Megan B, Abigail F, Harry F, Alex GF, Sebastian H, Aly L, Athena L, Daphne L, Eliza L, Nathan L, Lucas LB, Wellington M, Zade M, Chris R, Sophie R, Beckett S, Nikkolai T, Ethan W, Sunny X, and Tim X. Several swimmers also reached finals for the first time—Madison T, Leo S, Vlad B, Calvin L, and Drew C—marking an important step in their competitive development.

The meet also produced several significant performance milestones. Club records were set by Sebastian Hui in the 13/14 Boys 50 Breast (31.47 SCM), Ethan Wu in the 13/14 Boys 50 Back (27.62 SCM), and Sunny Xu in the 15/16 Girls 400 Free (4:19.86 SCM). Sunny Xu also earned the High Point Trophy for 15&O Girls. In addition, Oliver M, James Z, Claire S, Tim X, and Chloe F achieved an OAG qualification standard, highlighting continued progress and depth across the program.
