TRAINING TRIP

Swimming and diving spent time during the winter break training in preparation for the second half of the season. Swimmers trained in an Olympic sized pool at the Orlando YMCA Aquatic Center. The divers utilized platformers for drills and partook in dry land training which included trampolines and spring boards for flipping.

 

FIRST HALF DOMINANCE

At the midway point of the 2019-20 season, both the men's and women's swimming and diving teams are off to a fantastic start. Both teams will look to continue their momentum into the 2020 portion of their schedules. The women's team finished the calendar year with a record of 7-3, while the men head into the new year with a record of 8-2.
