PCS at 2026 ISC Medley Challenge
Pacific Coast Swimming’s Provincial 2/3 Group, Senior Group, and National Group, alongside the UVic Vikes, attended the 2026 ISC Medley Challenge on May 22nd to 24th at Saanich Commonwealth Place. The club was made up of more than 100 swimmers representing Pacific Coast Swimming throughout the weekend competition.
One of the major highlights of the meet was the exciting Eliminator Challenge, where eight swimmers competed head-to-head for the title. Before each round, swimmers spun a wheel featuring the four strokes — butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle — to determine the event order. At the end of each round, the final two swimmers were eliminated, creating an exciting and competitive atmosphere.
