Stingrays Compete at the Ontario Junior International

The Ontario Junior International (OJI) is a prestigious swim meet that brings together young swimmers from across Canada and around the world to compete and showcase their talent—right here in Ontario. For more than a decade, the OJI has given athletes the chance to challenge themselves against top-level international competition.

Each year, the meet continues to grow, now offering opportunities in both the Olympic and Paralympic streams. This growth has helped make the OJI a special event, welcoming swimmers from near and far to race in a high-performance environment and gain valuable competitive experience.

This past weekend, six Stingrays swimmers proudly represented the club, putting together a weekend of strong racing and exciting results. The team achieved multiple personal bests and new club records, a true reflection of their hard work, determination, and dedication in training.

Congratulations to all the athletes on their fantastic performances, and a big thank you to the coaches and supporters who helped make the weekend such a success.
