This past weekend 35 OSC swimmers represented us at the Swim Alberta Winter Provincial Championships. The Meet is Swim Alberta’s marquee event bringing in the best swimmers across Alberta to compete against each other in some of the fastest racing so far this season.
OSC had a very strong showing winning a combined 28 individual medals and 1 relay medal!
8 Gold 🥇
10 Silver🥈
11 Bronze🥉
We also have some outstanding swimmer performances to celebrate as OSC tends to do at these high level meets and we will start with some NEW CLUB RECORDS! 3 New records fell from 10 year old Evan Brake who set a record in the boys 200m Backstroke with a time of 2:43.90, another record in the 50 Backstroke with a time of 35.27 and one more record in the 100 Backstroke with a time of 1:15.25! Congratulations Evan and keep an eye on this kid as he is tearing up the OSC 10&under records category!
A number of swimmers achieved Top 10 Youth Recognition times. These time standards are set by Swim Alberta and OSC have a strong history of swimmers achieving these standards. These swimmers were recognized on Sunday in a special award ceremony and got Youth Recognition T-Shirts.

Congratulations Emily, everybody in the OSC family is extremely proud of you!
Congratulations to ALL swimmers on an amazing weekend. The team had over 200 best times overall which shows the results of all the hard work from these swimmers. But most importantly a MASSIVE THANK YOU to you the parents who volunteered for 4 long days to make this meet possible. We thank you for your dedication, flexibility and commitment to ensuring these memories and opportunities for our young swimmers.
