Vancouver Masters Synchro

With Provincials taking place a couple of weeks ago, another successful competition is under our belts. With only a few short minutes between our tech swim and free warm up, everyone was worried about how our conditioning would hold up.

The duet also had two awesome swims, made even more remarkable considering that half the duet is eight months pregnant!
