The youngest members of the Estevan Golden Eels Swim Club got their feet wet – both figuratively and literally – in competitions this past week.
The club hosted a mini meet for some of their youngest competitors to get them used to going to meets, and then some of the swimmers went to Humboldt to enjoy the competition there and pick up some medals.
Only eight members of the club went to swim at Humboldt over the weekend, but three of them got medals for overall performance. During the regular swim season, each competitor earns points for the top finishings in the races, and the total points earned during the races determine the medals.
In the ages 7-8 girls, Rachel Duncan won a gold medal, while in the 13-14 boys, Josh Wilson won bronze. Cassidy Reich, the team's coach, won silver for the 18 and over girls.
The team will travel to Regina over the weekend for the second week of the season at the Lawson Aquatic Centre.
