Daniil Savelev placed first in the 400 free and second in the 200 free, while Ruby Kehler placed third in both the 200 and 400 free.
Abigail Jerome swam to a silver spot in the 50 free.
In both the 50 and 100 fly for Open Men’s, Paul Neupert broke the club records and swam to a silver spot in the 100 fly.
Earning bronze in the 200 breast was Kodi Wiman, and Jared Moore took the third spot in the 50 free.
Other swimmers that made finals were Sebastian Cudmore, Alex McDonald, Juliet Nicholson, Dakota Wiman, Emilie Golinowski and Alexa Pauletto.
The Men’s 4x100 free relay team made the podium, with Paul Neupert, Alex McDonald, Daniil Savelev and Jared Moore swimming to bronze.
