Taking your athletes to a weekend meet is enough to keep any local swim club busy. Spreading a handful of your top competitors across three different events covering two different countries is a whole other matter altogether.

Such was the stretch of meets that recently awaited members of the Sudbury Laurentian Swim Club, with more than a dozen SLSC representatives spread out in venues ranging from Florida to Barrie.

Alexandre Landry continues to show improvement on a national scale, establishing both a new personal best time and a NEOR regional record in the 100m breaststroke while competing in his second world caliber meet.

Landry posted a time of 1:04.79 in the 100m race at the TYR Pro Series meet in Fort Lauderdale, placing 32nd, adding a new PB in the 50m breaststroke (29.76 - 34th) and closing things off with a time of 2:23.92 in the 200m breast (32nd).

The event leads in nicely to the Canada Swimming Trials taking place at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre from March 28th to April 2nd, an event at which Landry will be joined by fellow SLSC sensation Nina Kucheran.

Still in the GTA, James Bertrim and Aidan Stever were among the crop of very best swimmers in the province who gathered for the Ontario Swimming Championships.

Bertrim finished the meet with a 4th place in the 200m breaststroke, 8th place in the 100m breaststroke and 8th place in the 400m freestyle while Stever raced in the 400 I.M. (13th), 200 I.M. (22nd) and the 200 Breast (12th place).

Finally, another small group of locals travelled to Barrie for the Barrie Trojan Pentathlon, competing in a series of ten rcaes that included: the 50m and 100m in each of the four strokes along with both the 100m and 200m individual medley.

Top finishers at this meet for SLSC included Jack Smith and Blake Gough.
