The last weekend of the regular swim season came quickly and left, but not before the Estevan Golden Eels Swim Club picked up a few more medals.

The club travelled to Swift Current Saturday July 22 and Gravelbourg Sunday July 23 and plenty of them medalled in the top three of their age groups.

In Swift Current, 15 Golden Eels took to the pool. Medalling in the event were Gabrielle Jocelyn (11-12 girls, bronze), Tristan Threinen (11-12 boys, gold), Adah DeLeeuw (13-14 girls, gold), Teaghen Hack (15-17 girls, gold), and Jaiden Jocelyn (15-17 boys, bronze). The team finished third place among the teams with 222 total points despite being one of the smaller ones there.

The next day in Gravelbourg, the team had 20 swimmers collect 339.5 points and collected first place overall. Medalling were Mahlyn Bomberak (7-8 girls, silver), Jennika Linthicum (7-8 girls, bronze), Josie Andrist (11-12 girls, silver), Tristan Threinen (11-12 boys, silver), Ethan Elliott (11-12 boys, bronze), Teaghen Hack (15-17 girls, silver), Jaiden Jocelyn (15-17 boys, bronze) and Cassidy Reich (18+ girls, gold).

Teams from across the southern half of the province will descend upon the city for the Southern Sask Semifinals. The top six swimmers in each event will have the chance to travel to Watrous Aug. 5-6 for the provincial meet.
