Look out Richmond, Sunshine Coast swimmers are going to make some waves at this year's B.C. Senior's Games.
The Games are set for Sept. 16 to 19 and will feature six swimmers, three female and three male from the Sunshine Coast on the zone four team.
Zone four is the largest zone in the province comprised of athletes from Burnaby, Delta, Ladner, New Westminster, North and West Vancouver, Richmond, Tsawwassen, Vancouver, Squamish, Whistler and the Sunshine Coast.
A total of 36 members are on the swim team, meaning the Coast is providing 17 per cent of that team.
The selected swimmers are: Bruce McDonald, Fred Lerner, Manfred Baur, Christine Chandler, Linda Duff and Jude[da Silva] Povoas, each competing in different age groups.
"Our success is due to the dedication of the swimmers, but also due to the splendid support which the Sunshine Coast Regional District has given us at the pools, during our training sessions," said McDonald who organized the team with the assistance of the SCRD in April.
