POINTE-CLAIRE – As far as swim coach Chris Callard knows, his synchronized swimming team is making history.
He said it’s the first time in recent memory that an all-boys team has competed in an Association of Lakeshore Pools (ALPS) competition.
Last week, the boys, who hail from Beaconsfield Heights pool, earned a silver medal at the annual Summer Swimmers competition, which was held at Lakeside pool in Pointe-Claire.
“Sometimes you’re a little bit humiliated because people think it’s a joke, but it’s actually not,” said Benjamin Savouré, one of the swimmers.
“That what we try to prove to people: it’s that synchro isn’t impossible for boys to do. And that it’s not an only girls sport. Well, not anymore.”
