To all who are interested, the Brock Niagara Penguins will be having two summer dates for wheelchair basketball pick-up:
July 25th and August 22nd from 2-4pm in Bob Davis Gym and Gym 2 (respectively) at Brock University.
All Welcome!
Penguins had 2 swimers at the local swim meet (James & Madison). Both James and Madison swam 2 freestyle races and 1 backcrawl race. Madison swam all 3 in lane 1 without any swimming assistive device!! A first and a huige accomplishment! James did especially well on this back and jumped off of the wall for his start in his third race.
Congratulations to both swimmers and to Rachel, Dana and Katie for their help at the meet!
