Aquanauts dive into season at Kenora

The Fort Frances Aquanauts travelled to Kenora last weekend to compete in their first swim meet of the season and everyone was pleased with their showing.
“It was a terrific meet for us,” co-coach John Dutton enthused Monday. “It is great to get this many personal bests this early. It is good for the team.”
In fact, Dutton noted team members usuaully aren’t swimming this well until later in the season. “In the opening meet, to have this kind of result, is really encouraging for us,” he remarked.
The Aquanauts will be sending eight swimmers to an elite meet early next month, with the next regular one slated in January in Atikokan.
“We get busier after Christmas time,” noted Dutton.
