The Delta secondary school swim team made a big splash at the recent Fraser Valley Championships, taking top honours for the first time in recent memory.
The Pacers finished first among 34 schools, led by the Senior Girls team topping its division. The Junior Boys were second, Senior Boys third and Junior Girls fourth. Integral to the success of the program is head coach Francine de Lotbinière-Bassett. She is assisted by six other Grade 12 coaches who provided support, along with Willy Arundel and Anna Griffith who helped organize and manage the team.
