2016 National Records Summary

Posted on March 3, 2017 by Barry Lewis

Statsman – Christian Berger has just posted the National Records summary for 2016.  Once again – for the 12th consecutive year – we have the most relay records of any club in Canada!  This speaks to the depth of our club, as a couple of the other teams in the Top Ten are national  or provincial “super teams” (e.g., “CFST” – Canadian Forces Swim Team and “TOMS” – Team Ontario Masters Swim Team), which are made up of members who aren’t with the same club and don’t train together.

In total, our club has 55 National Records; meaning that our club members collectively have 26 individual National Records.
