The Estevan Mermaids synchronized swimming club took part in the annual Diane Lemon Invitational Meet in Regina on the weekend.
Seven individuals or teams from the Mermaids came home with first-place finishes.
Mermaids head coach Brenda Lyons said she was proud of the club's performance and that the weekend was about getting the athletes used to what is to be expected in a competition.
"The coaches were excited to see the growth in the athletes since their last figures competition, in November," Lyons said.
The meet began on Saturday with the individual figures event, which is comprised of technical manoeuvres specific to age groups. The Mermaids had 21 athletes participating.
Mackenzie Dahl topped the list of Estevan performances, taking first place in the age 16-18 provincial stream category. Chanel Thievin was fourth in the same category.
Kelsey Potoma was fourth in the 13-15 provincial stream, while Nyla Dyck placed sixth in the 11-12 group.
In the novice category, which is for athletes who have not been competitive prior to this season, Hannah Mantei was fourth, Brandi Peters fifth and Makenna Wock sixth.
The duets competition took place on Saturday afternoon, with Eden Palmer and Alyssa Wieting taking top honours in the 13-15 provincial stream. Danika Poirier and Trinity Rooks were third in the same category.
Flexibility testing took place Sunday morning. Dahl earned first place as the most flexible 16-year-old in the province, and Thievin was crowned the most flexible 17-year-old.
The solo competition saw four Mermaids take part. Mantei was first in the novice category, while Potoma took third place in the 13-15 provincial stream.
The meet wrapped up Sunday with performances from a variety of clubs from across the province.
The team of Mantei, Peters, Wock, Reagan Wall and Courtney Reetz, competing in their first team synchro routine, walked away with first place in the novice event.
In the 16-18 provincial stream, the Mermaids earned another first-place showing with a team comprised of Dahl, Tracy Irwin, Taylor Kuntz, Palmer, Potoma, Thievin, Wieting and Hannah Whitman. Tess Rensby and Shannon Wanner were the coaches.
The Mermaids' team in the 11-12 group earned a third-place finish. The team included Gemma Bittman, Dyck, Caitlin Graham, Brooke Kruger, Poirier, Rooks, Marlie Weinrauch and Bailey Wock, and was coached by Lyons.
The Mermaids' next meet is a month from now.
