To all the individual swimmers waiting to see if they receive an invite to OFSAA, as the districts compile their data to determine the top 50 times in the province, best of luck and stay tuned for further details.
A big thank you to the coaching team of Brent Urie, Natalie Van Alphen and Michelle McIver. Well done, KDSS swim team – we are SO proud of you! Go Knights, Go!
