Hello Parents!
I just received the meet package today for the Pentathlon Meet that is taking place next weekend in Charlottetown. For those of you that are unfamiliar with how a pentathlon meet works, here is brief description:
In a pentathlon meet, swimmers will compete by age (e.g. 8 year olds, 9 year olds, etc.) and must swim every stroke and an IM event. For example, 10 year old swimmer entered in this type of meet will swim the 50m butterfly, 50m breastroke, 50m backstroke and 50m freestyle and 100m IM. Their times achieved in each event is then added together for a total time for the 5 events. The fastest cumulative time wins the "pentathlon title".
Here are the meet details for the PEI Pentathlon Meet....

Warm-Ups: 9:00 AM for a 9:45 AM Start Time

Thanks everyone!
Coach Tracy
