Team NL swimmers won a record number of medals for the province during the first half of the Canada Summer Games in Niagara, Ontario.
Between them, Chris Weeks, Thomas Pelley and Nate Luscombe won five silver, two bronze and one gold medals at the games.
Weeks won the province’s first gold medal of the games and now has a total of three medals.
Pelley won three medals in several Special Olympics swimming events, while Luscombe won two medals in para-swimming.
NL Team Chef Gary Martin says it’s been an amazing week for swimmers from this province.
This year’s medal tally so far surpasses Team NL Swimming’s last Games in 2013, when the province won its last silver medal.
About 400 athletes, coaches, managers and mission staff are participating in the Canada Summer Games.
Team NL is represented by 22 teams participating in 17 sports, including athletics, baseball, basketball, beach volleyball, road and mountain biking, diving, golf, rowing, rugby sevens, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, triathlon, volleyball and struggle.
