Sask SWAD swimmers bring home medals
 

Regina Optimist Dolphin swimmer, Michael Qing and Regina Y’s Mens Marlins Swimmer, Jacqueline Rennebohm each won medals in their respective classification this weekend at the Swimmers with A Disability Can/Am Championships in London Ontario.

Michael won Silver medals in the 50, 100 and 200 Meter Breaststroke and Jacqueline won silver in 100 Breast, and Bronze in 50 Fly .

The Swimmers with A Disability Can/Am Championships was a long course competition that is a combined effort of Swimming/Natation Canada and US Paralympic Swimming to bring the best swimmers with a disability in North America and around the world together twice per season to promote fast swimming as they work towards 2006 IPC Swimming World Championships and the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing.

Saskatchewan officials also traveled to London to work at the competition, to gain more experience in officiating SWAD swimmers. They will share what they learned with the rest of the master and senior officials at their upcoming meeting on May 7, 2006

Swim Saskatchewan congratulates both Michael and Jacqueline. Well Done!
