Kelowna Aquajets swim team motors to medals in US meet

A total of six swimmers from Kelowna represented their city as part of the Aquajet swim team in Moses Lake, Washington, from July 12 to 14.

The small pod of swimmers swam at the Sizzlin' Summer Swim Long Course meet hoping to claim medals, and they managed to scoop some up.
