Two days, 148 competitors, 15 teams and 23 local medals.
That's how things shaped up at the 2011 Summer Speed Swimming Provincials, held in Humboldt July 30-31.
Swimming got underway on Saturday morning after a short opening ceremony, and the last competitor got out of the pool on Sunday afternoon.
Swimmers from clubs from all over the province - Humboldt, Assiniboia, Biggar, Estevan, Gravelbourg, Melfort, Melville, Nipawin, Oxbow, Regina, Rosetown, Swift Current, Watrous, Weyburn and from the south east area of the province - competed at this Provincials event.
Seventeen local swimmers - members of the Humboldt Hammerheads Swim Team - took part in the meet - the same number who competed at Northerns the week before.
"Everyone who went to the semifinals qualified for Provincials," noted club president Leanne Dillabough on July 30.
At the end of it all, the 17 local competitors won 23 medals over the two-day event.
Also, three of those swimmers were declared aggregate winners in their age groups for earning the most points over the weekend.
