*************************
The Orillia Channel Cats Swim Club ended its regular season with a fun competition held in Collingwood.
Thirty-eight swimmers from Orillia were in attendance, and participated in a cardboard boat race as well as a group lip sync contest.
“We historically end our season with the Collingwood Invitational as it is a fun, positive meet for swimmers of all levels,” says head coach Meredith Thompson-Edwards.
This year Collingwood added a 50-metre butterfly eliminator event. The top six male and female swimmers race 50-metre butterfly back to back until there are two swimmers left, who then race for first place.
Taryn Fenton and Indiana Abram participated in the eliminator, placing second and third.
Swimmers raced well over the weekend, posting some personal best times and top finishes.
Swimmers in attendance included Zoe Baker, Maelle Bouchard, Georgia Cameron, Sylvia Chabot, Zoe Close, Carmen Konroy, Evangeline Cooke, Emma Edgerton, Ava Fairgrieve, Maya Favaro, Olivia Favaro, Taryn Fenton, Emony Fisher, Leah Guller, Katie Heckendorn, Grace Hunter, Maya Levene, Gabriella Marques, Maelle Mooney, Niko Plett, Sophie Shivers, Riley Shore, Charlee Tillmanns, Adair Wieclawek, Blythe Wieclawek, Indiana Abram, Alex Baillie, Jackson Denne, Elias Fisher, David Guller, Harrison Levene, Sam Pecorella, Fedor Radzievskii, Ayan Rau, Peter Sneyd, Caden Stuart, Gabe VanDam and Rydaar Watt.
