AGI Meet Report- Building Something Special at ESWIM

This past weekend’s AGI meet was a brilliant step forward for ESWIM – not just in the results, but in how our swimmers, coaches, and families came together as one team.

In the pool, ESWIM athletes delivered across every stroke and distance. From first-time finalists to podium finishes and swims that now rank among the top performances in Canada, the results reflected the structured, progressive training our squads have been putting in week after week. It was clear that the work in practice is translating into confident, consistent racing.

What stood out most was how our swimmers raced. Skills and technique continue to move in the right direction – tighter underwaters, cleaner turns, smarter pacing. Many of our swimmers are now able to compete using less energy than their competitors, and then using that extra gear when it matters most to finish strong and take the wins. The underwaters in particular were a real highlight, and the exciting part is that we’re only at the beginning of that journey.

The meet was also a powerful reflection of our team culture. Swimmers supported each other from warm-up to the last relay – cheering behind the blocks, celebrating each other’s breakthroughs, and staying positive through tough races. On deck, the coaching team worked together in a unified, professional way, making sure every swimmer felt prepared, supported, and challenged.

In the stands, our parents brought energy and encouragement all weekend. Your positivity, patience, and commitment make this environment possible. We truly couldn’t do this without you – thank you for everything you do to get your swimmers to training, support them through the ups and downs, and represent ESWIM with pride.

A huge thank you as well to the volunteers and officials who ran an outstanding meet, and to the visiting clubs who brought such strong competition. Racing against quality opponents is exactly what our athletes need to keep progressing, and we are grateful for the level of challenge they provided.

AGI showed that ESWIM is building more than just fast swimmers – we are building a connected, hard-working, and supportive team. This weekend felt like another important step in that direction, and we’re excited for what’s ahead.
