If success is measured in fun and camaraderie, Oak Bay High scored high in the recent provincial swimming competition.
The team competed in several relay races at the final meet of the year for school swimmers: the 200-metre medley, mixed 200-metre medley, girlsB次元官网网址� 200m freestyle, and the boysB次元官网网址� 200m freestyle. A medley consists of four swimmers doing 50 metres each with each swimmer doing a different stroke B次元官网网址� backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle and butterfly.
All four foursomes raced on the Friday, with the boysB次元官网网址� freestyle relay finishing 17th. The top 16 returned to compete the next day, and when one team dropped out, Oak Bay made the cut but didnB次元官网网址檛 finish on the podium.
TheyB次元官网网址檙e happy with the finish, said coach and teacher sponsor Allison Seidel who coaches alongside Meaghan Holahan. Because of an A-level swimmer on the relay during earlier competition, the relay challenged other A-level relays. That top-tier swimmer wasnB次元官网网址檛 available for provincials, so a full B squad hit the water.
B次元官网网址淓veryone was there to cheer them on, it was great,B次元官网网址� Seidel said.
The kids became good friends and gelled as a team and bonded over a games night and team dinner,B次元官网网址� she said.
B次元官网网址淲e all had a fabulous time so that was a win.B次元官网网址�
