The Cochrane Comets swim club is hard at work with two competitions already under its belt.
The Halloween Howler, hosted by the Glencoe Gators Swim Club took place Oct. 16. Six teams in total competed, with the Comets sending five swimmers ages seven through 12.
“The first meet is to see where the swimmers are at . . . to see some best times is great,” said coach Suzanne Gaida, adding the Comets started practising in September.
Sarenne Walbridge, 8, placed third in the girls open 100 m individual medley and Kirk Austin, 9, was third in the boys’ version of the same race.
Eight swimmers competed in the Fall Start Up at the University of Calgary Oct. 23.
“The kids needed certain qualifying times to enter the competition,” said Gaida.
Jacqueline Sinnett, 10, placed third in the girls 50 m backstroke while Skylar Chambers, 12, was second in three events and third in the boys 100 m freestyle.
