In an inspiring display of determination and skill, the Prince Albert Sharks Swim Club embarked on a journey to Saskatoon to take part in the Manitoba-Saskatchewan Provincial Swimming Championships.

A particularly remarkable moment came when they shattered the club record in the 200-meter butterfly—a record that had stood unchallenged for over 27 years, a testament to their tenacity and skill. Furthermore, they attained the coveted “AA” qualification, a feat that serves as the gateway to the Para Swimmers Canadian Trials.

Countless personal best times were also achieved, underscoring their dedication to constant improvement.
