The swim team had a very successful season, both in relays and individual events. The boys and girls, both, had two relays and multiple individuals qualified for the state team.  

Jacqueline Young, Junior, shared the importance of the team: “Even though swimming is an individual sport, there is a special camaraderie within the team. We are all supportive and want each other to succeed.” 

The team had to overcome a lot of obstacles with Covid. “We had less practice than we normally do, we only had 7 per week” says Senior Phillip Forbes.

But ultimately, the team was able to push through and have an incredible season. Multiple individuals, both on the girls and boys team, placed in the top ten of the CHL in varying races, below are those individuals.
