Plus, they got some insider tips during a special classroom session featuring a swimmer panel with Nova Scotia Next Gen stars Sophie Rooney and Liam Ferguson!
A big thanks to Sophie and Liam for taking us on a fascinating journey through their swimming careers, from their early days in age group clubs to their stellar performances in varsity programs in Nova Scotia!
