Focus will be on advanced technique, endurance, speed and building mental and physical toughness. The goal of all members of the Varsity team will be to place and advance out of the District meet to Regionals and State. Being a member of the Varsity team is a privilege and an honor and athletes will be held to a higher standard in attendance, behavior, discipline, and work ethic. Varsity swimming will be 1st period for both semesters and train through the end of the school year.
Varsity is 1st period – Practice from 6:00am – 7:45am (including 1st period)
