TWO national champions in the 10-kilometer open-water swimming were crowned today at Thetis Lake in Victoria to conclude the five day Summer National Championships.  <\/p>\n<p>Local Victorian Aimeson King, 19, and Zsofia Balazs, 20, of Toronto took the national title in the men&#39;s and women&#39;s 10k respectively, earning them their ticket to California and represent their country at the 2010 Pan Pacific Championships.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I couldn&#39;t ask for anything better&quot;, said King, who recently moved to Victoria from Oakville, Ontario. &quot;The conditions were perfect.  I wasn&#39;t getting much sleep last night because I was looking forward to this meet and trying to qualify.  I&#39;m so excited to make this team and hopefully Richard and I will make some magic happen for Canada in Long Beach.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>For Balazs, the 2010 Summer Nationals were her last take at qualifying for the Pan Pacific Championships after competing in Roberval at the World Open Water Championships.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I&#39;m really excited about my race after a disappointing showing at the Worlds in Roberval,&quot; said Balazs.  &quot;My coach, Linda Keifer, told me to stick to the boys&#39; pact and get as far ahead as possible in the race.  Obviously this strategy really worked well for me.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The 2010 Pan Pacific Swimming Championships open-water 10k race will take place in Long Beach, California.  This course is not uncharted territories for Balaz.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I know the course, I&#39;ve been there before for World Championships trial, so I&#39;m going to go there, do my best and try to get a top placing,&quot; added Balazs.<\/p>\n<p>King and Balazs will join Richard Weinberger of Victoria and Nadine Williams of Sherwood Park, who have both qualified from the World Championship a few weeks ago.  The fifty-six-member team for the Pan Pacific Championships will be staging in Victoria before travelling to California on August 6th.<\/p>\n<p><b>The above article is a press release submitted to Swimming World Magazine.
