On October 19th, 2017 St. Augustine swim team members met for their first swim meet of the season. The first meet featured various schools who competed at the Markham Pan-Am Centre in attempt to swim their way to OFSAA. Members participated in a variety of events including freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, medley swims, and relays. This year’s swim team was comprised of 42 members including both open and non-competitive swimmers. Despite the stiff competition, students were able to showcase their talents while building a sense of community. At the event, multiple students beat their best times and finished strongly. St Augustine’s senior medley relay team, comprised of Alessia Priore, Emily Sodhi, Alexandria Rocha, and Alexa Crowe, finished 1st overall with an outstanding time of 02:38!

Overall, the meet was a huge success. Team members await the following meet on the  November 15th with great anticipation.
