Rochester Swim Club Orcas

The Rochester Swim Club ORCAS hosted a very unique Invitational for swimmers 8 years old & younger. Over 200 swimmers between

the ages of 5 & 8 came from the Twin cities, Menomonie, Wisconsin & as far away as Bemidji, MN and Brookings South Dakota to

compete in this fun and exciting event.

With nearly 50% of the entry the ORCAS definitely made their presence known. The Orcas placed at least one swimmer in the top

8 in almost every event and sometimes had as many as 7 in the final 8. With such a huge presence, the ORCAS outscored their

nearest competitor 2:1. The top 5 final team scores were:

Rochester Swim Club Orcas 2786
