There are some local swimmers I wanted to mention who swim for Tacoma Swim Club that competed at the Pacific Northwest Swimming Short Course Championships Dec. 18-21 at KCAC in Federal Way.
Tyler Stewart of Silverdale, 10, qualified for every event offers for his age and out of the six individual events, Stewart medaled in all of them — fourth in the 50 free, third in the 500 free, fifth in the 50 breast, sixth in the 100 breast, third in the 100 IM, and third in the 200 IM. He also swam in two relays, in which the team earned ribbons, and has earned six regional times.
Stewart’s brother, Curtis, 9, also earned two individual ribbons and two relay ribbons.
Here’s the link to check out how all our local swimmers fared. The season is somewhat quiet with a handful of January challenge meets before the 39th Washington Open Jan. 15. The Washington State YMCA Championships are slated for Jan. 31. The schedule heats up again in the spring with the Speedo Championship Series March 15, NWAG Regionals March 22, and the Spring Divisional Championships March 29.
