News Story
It’s the time again. Time to get up for eight am fun hundreds and that long time period of not shaving your legs. It’s girls swim season! And for new freshmen swimmers, the team is somewhat of a shock.
How is high school swimming different compared to middle school swimming?
“It’s a lot more competitive and there is more of a team experience.”
And for those girls that have never swam before:
“It’s really competitive, and the team is so supportive!”
Why did you choose to participate in swim team?
“I’ve been swimming for six years, and I heard it was a lot of fun!”
“To improve skills and learn to be a better swimmer.”
“Because I’m good at swimming and it’s what I like to do!”
And for every athlete, there’s something that really makes the team stand out.
“I love the team and getting to know everyone!”
“The team is so awesome. We’re always doing something together. And if you don’t have teammates behind you, backing you up and inspiring you, swimming is nothing but hard, physical work.”
So stop on by to one of the many meets and cheer on the new freshmen girls as they prepare for their upcoming section meet.
