January 17-18 Zone 3 Championships Results

This past weekend 16 Pirate team members traveled the great distance to USF to compete in the Zone 3 Championships. Teams from San Francisco to Ukiah participated, for a relatively small team our swimmers did well, with several swimmers making it past the preliminaries and on to finals in the late afternoon.

A BIG thanks to Anita who volunteered as an official for the entire meet. Of course to Cary who worked as an assistant coach for the entire meet, helping Gadi take splits and recording times. And lastly since this was a Zone 3 meet each team is required to supply staff to help run the meet. We were given the job of head timer plus manning a lane for timing. MJ arranged the schedule for the timers, another big thanks to the parents who stepped in to help.

Pacific swim has changed its ranking procedure. They will no longer use BB, AA, etc…The ranking will be C, B, A, JO, FW, PRT, NRT. So if you  had a BB time it is most likely an A time now. Make sure to check with swimconnection.com to see where you are now and your next goal.
