Senior Swim Challenge 2/7
The Senior swimmers fullfilled their Swim Challenge Sunday with a 13,000 yard practice that took just under 4 hours!  To give some perspective, the Seniors usually swim anywhere from 6500 to 8000 yards in a two hour practice.  To swim a 13K yard practice is an accomplishment.  The swimmers should be tired, but proud of themselves. Great job Sunday!  Viewable Swim Challenge workout from Sunday.
