High School Swim Team Update - Week of 1/29/24

Good afternoon everyone,

Good swims at our meets this weekend! We had some very close meets against some tough competition. The boys team got the win on Friday against Brunswick. On Saturday, both teams defeated Euclid and lost close meets to Strongsville. This brings our records to 10-3 for the girls and 11-2 for the boys. Between the meets, swimmers combined for 41 season best times. Results and top times have been updated on the team website. Our reminders and schedule for the week are included below.




Reminders:
1.) It is important to be in the water each day as we taper. We will drop yardage and intensity over our remaining practices to get the best performance for our championship meets. Swimmers, please remember that you have two practice options to meet daily attendance.
2.) Please be sure that you are getting missed practices made up. A signup sheet for makeup practice is linked here. Please try to sign up 24 hours in advance.
