Synchro Swim Ontario recently announced that the Olympium Synchro Swim Club has been selected to host the 2008 Ontario Tier Championships at the Etobicoke Olympium.

The Tier 6 15&U Gold team was crowned national champions at the 2007 Canadian Espoir Championships in May and had 7 of the team members named to National and/or provincial teams; the Tier 7 Junior team placed third at the 2007 Canadian Open and had 7 of its team members named to the Provincial Junior Team; and Jennifer Knobbs was re-named to the National Junior Team for a 3rd consecutive year.

In addition to hosting Tier Championships in 2008, OSSC will also host Provincial Trials which is tentatively scheduled for January 26 & 27.

"OSSC is extremely pleased to know that our bids for both the Provincial Trials and Tier Championships in 2008 were successful” said Club President Cynthia Caskey. "This is really a great opportunity for our facility, our fans and especially our club, which has earned a reputation for hosting first-class events. The Etobicoke Olympium is such a beautiful facility in which to compete, and our member families are so knowledgeable and supportive”.
