The Kelowna-West Kelowna Integrated Club (KWIC) brought home three medals and a handful of top 10s from last weekend in Vancouver.

Molly Hill swam to ninth place finishes in 200 fly and 100 back and broke the club record in the girls 15-17 50 fly.

Other swimmers posting best times were Matthew MacDonald and Jasper Stone.

Axana Merckx and Molly Hill will be travelling to Montreal April 3 for the Canadian Swimming Championships. The following weekend, KWIC will send 19 swimmers to Victoria for the Western Canadian Championships.
