Durham Synchro Shines at 2006 Provincial Trials

Neither snow, nor slush (and there was lots) nor chilly temperatures could stop Durham Synchro from another awesome showing at Provincial Trials in Ottawa on January 20-22! Congratulations to all of our competitive swimmers who participated in this meet at the Nepean Sports Complex, and kudos to coaches Holley, Leslie, Rochelle and Sarah for doing such a fantastic job of pulling it all together for us.
