Hundreds of Swimmers Descend Today

Don't be surprised if you see a lot of traffic in the malls and the market today.  

More than 300 swimmers are in town with their coaches and parents for the  Marianne Limpert Team Championships at the Aquatic centre.

Saint John Fundy Swim Club president Gary Losier tells CHSJ News it's the first of four events coming to the Saint John region with the next one in May.

He says a lot of kids coming here this weekend are working towards the Canada Games trials hoping to get a spot on Swim NB's team heading to Sherbrooke this summer.

The competitors range in age from 8 to 18 and are traveling from all over the province to take part in the event at the Aquatic Centre beginning today and running until Sunday.
