LOSC Fall Open

LOSC Fall Open 

This last weekend was our first swim meet as Golds Aquatics Club, and it was a total success! Our swimmers did a phenomenal job; in fact, most of them improved their times in each event. As a team, we had 164 total swims, with 151 of them being best times. This is an astonishing 92% improvement. Way to go, GAC! We also broke 8 club records and 1 Oregon state record. We could not have done this without our supportive parents, who were in the stands cheering on our swimmers, volunteering as timers and pool marshals, and officiating the meet. We received several compliments from the hosting team about our parent involvement and swimmer success. We want to sincerely thank everyone who volunteered their time to make this possible for our swimmers. Congratulations everyone!
