The three-day meet was one of the last qualifying events for upcoming provincial championships.
The Everlast Thunderbolts Grand Prix kicked off on Friday morning at the Canada Games Complex, with 235 swimmers taking part.
The Ontario junior and festival championships, which are for competitors 12 years of age or under, are taking place from June 13-16 in Unionville and Etobicoke. Thunderbolts swimmer Maddy Giardetti – who finished in first place in the female 13-and-over 800-metre race on Friday morning – said the Grand Prix is a special meet.
Giardetti also said there are a lot of differences between competing in a familiar setting instead of travelling out of town to compete.
