This past weekend, Caprice athletes from all different age categories participated in the first Synchro BC competition of the season. Athletes were judged in their basic skills, speed swimming, elements, and figures at this first competition. Additionally, junior athletes from all around the province took part in the final stage of trials for the Canada Winter Games team, a process which is in its final stages after beginning one year ago. Among placing in the top rankings in all of the events, Caprice also held the top 11 of the 16 spots in the basic skills category.
