The Moose Jaw Kinsmen Flying Fins have been busy over the past few months as they've been swimming in pools across Western Canada.

Just a few weeks ago, the local swim club sent four swimmers to the 2018 Western Canadian Championships in Victoria and it was a very successful showing.

"Westerns was a good experience for everybody, not everyone had their best times there and that's something that we've got to work on, whether that be working on mental skills, but there were some terrific swims there," said Flying Fins coach Laura Harvey.

Austin Lin was the lone male swimmer from the team to take part in Westerns and despite not making it into any finals, he was able to swim 100-percent lifetime bests at the meet.

He said he was able to show himself that he’s capable of competing at the national level.

"It was my first national meet and my coach told me to just have fun and that's what I tried to do," said Lin.

"I just went in trying to do my best and just execute. I think I can post some better teams next time and if I just keep working hard I can get to that top level."

Cadence Johns had a really strong event with a second place finish in the B Finals, earning tenth place overall in the 400-metre individual medley and the 200m backstroke.

This was the first Western Canadian Championship for Johns and she said that she was able to learn from the experience, "I had a lot of fun and I really enjoyed it, there was very good competition there," she said.

"I was competing against kids that were 15-and-under, so they were older, but I thought I did my best and things went pretty good."

Elyssa Tacchi placed sixth in the B final for the 100m breaststroke, putting her in 14th place overall, while Olivia Harvey came in eighth in the 50m freestyle’s B final, which put her in 16th place overall.

After the success at Westerns, the Flying Fins sent a group of swimmers to the Chinook Invitational in Swift Current and the young swimmers put together a great day.

"Our development swimmers are doing super well, their hard work really paid off at this meet, everyone's strokes looked beautiful, which is really what I'm looking for at this point," said Harvey. "With those development swimmers, it's not so much the times, but those strokes that I’m looking for."
