🐙💙 KRAKENS CRUSH IT IN MEDICINE HAT! 💙🐙
What an unforgettable weekend for the Claresholm Kraken Swim Club — our athletes showed up with heart, grit, and unstoppable momentum, earning us the Net Point Champion title once again at the Medicine Hat meet.

From massive personal best times to relay teams smashing their previous records, our swimmers lit up the pool. Ribbons, medals, and big smiles were everywhere, but the real highlight was the sheer determination and team spirit on deck.

This group continues to prove that Kraken pride isn’t just a slogan — it’s who we are. Every swimmer contributed. Every race mattered. Every effort pushed us forward.

Congratulations, team. You earned this victory.
