Unlike the other spring sports swimming has been able to get started in spite of the unusual weather. The team is returning some experienced swimmers but also includes some athletes with little experience.
“This season we have a wide variety of swimmers from very experienced to no experience,” said coach McKenzie Rupp. “Our team may be small in size which will provide us with a greater challenge when competing at the team level, but we are excited to witness all the individual successes.”
For coach Rupp swimming is more than about your time in the water.
“We are taking a specific focus on cross-training this season providing our swimmers with the opportunity to grow stronger in and out of the water,” said Rupp. “We believe these efforts will positively impact their swimming success as well as implement good habits for a healthy lifestyle at a young age. We look forward to a fun and successful season.”
Garrett Jensen is a returning athlete and knows the competition is good but the team must push themselves.
“We may not win over the competition, but we will always win at surpassing ourselves,” said Garrett Jensen.
