Aug 28/10 Big Finale for STSC swimmers 
Finishing the season off (that's right - some of our swimmers have competed right through to late-August!), Nadine Williams and Karlyn Elford had great performances to close out the season. Nadine competed on the Canadian National Team at the Pan Pacific Games in Irvine, California. This is the peak competition for the USA, Australia, Japan and Canada, among other nations, for the 2009-2010 season, and so swimmers like Michael Phelps, Ryan Lochte, Ryan Cochrane, Katie Ziegler and Rebecca Soni were on the very top of their game. This was Nadine's first full participation on a national team, and she made a clear mark on it. She swam the 800 Free in 8:51.46, less than 1-sec from being the fastest overall swimmer in Canada. She then followed up with the best open water 10-km race of her career, finishing 9th overall in one of the fastest international fields ever assembled. The women in this race were actually ahead of the men until almost 5-km, and Dini was head-to-head with those girls all the way. Karlyn competed in the Canadian National Championships for Triathlon in Kelowna, BC. This is the biggest competition in Canada for triathletes like Simon Whitfield and Paula Findlay. The race was a strong showing for Karlyn, who finished in 13th place, highlighted by a 3rd place split at the swimming segment of the race. Karlyn raced here after a long successful summer of swimming, including an open water 5-km gold medal at Age Group Nationals in July. Congratulations, girls! Silver Tide is very proud to support and benefit from having such great examples in our senior group! Chris
