It is that time of year where we celebrate the end of the Winter swim season and begin the summer season. To mark this special time, our team holds a team awards banquet for all 150 swimmers from ages 4-18. It can get a little crazy but what a night! First, the Senior speeches...let me just say, there was not a dry eye in the place. Our seniors had such an amazing year and many of them will be going off to swim in college. The memories they shared of their many years on the swim team were so touching.
Then it was time for the individual recognition and awards. There were so many fast times this year that we knew the competition was going to be tough. When Chandler's name was announced, along with his good friend John, for the Outstanding Swimmer Award, we were surprised and so excited! They both had an awesome year and what better way to win an award then to share it with a best buddy. When it came time for the 15& over awards, we were excited to hear about all of the records that were broken. We were then surprised when Christopher's name was announced for the Coaches Award. We were so proud because we knew how hard the boys had worked this year.
Now, we're back to the pool for practice and the long course season...
