Marlins Swim Meet






ON your marks, get set, . . . go! They take to the water like fish to the sea, so it only makes sense that the North Shore Winter Club host one of the season's most exciting races yet. The Marlins swim team calls this club home and on Saturday, July 8 and Sunday July 9 the weather was perfect for the club to get everyone together for a little fun in the sun. Competitors came from all over and came in all ages. It was great to see so much activity by the pool. Thanks to North Van's Dizzy Cycles for donating the bicycle for the big draw and to other sponsors for their contributions.
