KSC Wins Short Course State Championships

Kamehameha Swim Club

Aloha KSC ‘Ohana,

We had a great Short Course State Swimming Championships on Kona, Hawaii last week. We want to congratulate all our swimmers that competed and congratulations on our team winning this year’s Short Course State Championships. We have also sent the most State qualifiers to date with 96 swimmers attending last week’s meet. 

A huge mahalo to our parents who volunteered and made sure that every swimmer was looked after for. We can’t thank you enough.   Our swimmers raced many best times, and we want to congratulate some of the performances:
