Despite the soggy tents and the towels that didn’t completely dry overnight, the kids participating in the swim meet last weekend were grinning from ear to ear and cheering on their teammates.
This year is the Salmon Kings 55th anniversary.
There were 60 Salmon Kings competing in the meet. Over the two day weekend there was more than 300 kids in Centennial Pool.
Each swimmer was allowed to compete in six individual events plus two relays.
To keep the kids entertained the group took over the community hall on Saturday night for an air band competition.
