KISU Swim Club members made a splash at their annual Pentathlon and Jamboree last weekend at the Penticton Community Centre pool.
“It went really well, I was really pleased with the swimmer’s results both with how fast they were swimming as well as being an early season meet there’s still a long improvement curve ahead,” said KISU head coach Tina Hoeben about her team’s results. “I’m looking forward to seeing what they can do for the whole season as well.”
