There's something about swimming in familiar waters that brings out the best in members of the Langley Olympians Swim Club.

LOSC hosted its sixth annual Short Course Meet at Walnut Grove Pool last weekend. Attended by more than 350 swimmers from the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, and Kamloops, the meet consisted of heats in the morning with finals being held in the evenings both days.

Along the way, Joshua set club records in six swims. His new club records in the boys 9-10 category were in the 100m breaststroke (1: 24.12), 100m freestyle (1: 07.78), 50m backstroke (36.56), 100m backstroke (1: 18.39), 100m fly (1: 22.04), and 200m IM (2: 46.48).
