St. Anne's excelled at
swimming this season. The
majority of the large swim
team went to WOSSAA, and
three of those students
attended OFSAA last week in
Windsor.

the team attended WOSSAA.

the Canada Games Aquatic
Centre, and many of the ten
that couldn't attend were
absent due to illness or were
unable to make the event for

all the team members pre-
sent beat their personal best
times at the event.
