Etobicoke Olympium hosting OFSAA swimming

Sidney Crosby's goal may have closed off the Vancouver Winter Olympics, but local high schools are still deep into their championships.

Some are further along than others.

After competing within their own local league (usually, but not always, their own school board), the best teams move on to the provincial championships, otherwise known as the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) championships.

OFSAA SWIMMING

Toronto is currently in the midst of hosting the OFSAA swimming championships at the Etobicoke Olympium with the second and final day of action continuing today (Wednesday, March 3).

Results for Tuesday, March 2 have already been posted and are easily accessible on OFSAA's website. Just go to http://www.ofsaa.on.ca/swimming/ (and click on results).

Also of interest might be the Toronto District School Board's own swimming championships, which were also held at the Etobicoke Olympium last month.

To access these results, log onto the TDSB's website at www.tdsb.on.ca (then click TDSB sports and then click swimming).
