Beginning Swim Season With A Splash

As the Season 1 athletes return from their APAC trips, Season 2 activities are just beginning. Among the variety of choices is swimming. This year, along with this new season, the team also gets to practice in a new pool.

“We meet after school, and we have to travel to a pool… A new pool for us, so we are excited. It’s supposed to be pretty nice,” says Coach Higley, who personally loves swimming and has been swimming for many years.

Swimming does not seem to get as much attention as sports like basketball and volleyball, but the swim team is not lacking in enthusiasm or spirit. In fact, they’ve already been to a swim meet at BSG. The team plans on competing in many swim meets and beating personal records for the season. Coach Higley hopes that the relays will improve as well as the individual races. Overall, about 20 people have already expressed interest in joining the team, and Coach Higley is extremely excited about what this year has in store for the team. Freshman Bonnie W. is one of the handful of freshmen on the new swim team: “I’m not sure what we are going to do, but yes, I’m excited about swim season.”
