The North Shore Aquatic Complex in St. Petersburg, Florida, that's where! This meet will be an excellent opportunity for national exposure where we will compete against athletes from all over the US, and did I mention it's in Florida? Qualifying standards can be found in the meet packet on our website. If you are interested in attending, please declare your commitment by Monday, April 11. Questions? Reach out to Coach Adam!

Swimmer Spotlight
This month’s Swimmer Spotlight goes to Anna Anderson! Anna is everything a coach would want in a swimmer and everything a swimmer should strive to be. Anna faced the difficult task of moving up to the most intense training group this year. Although it was tough, Anna committed to attending all the practices and trying her best every day—Anna's attendance rate was over 90%! Everyday, Anna brought her best attitude to the pool, doing things she never thought she could do. The key to Anna's success is her incredibly positive attitude and her willingness to try—no matter what! She is always ready to learn and ready to give her best in all areas of life. She is a great influence on her teammates in practice and at swim meets. Hard work and persistence has paid off for Anna. She achieved best times in all the events she swam this season and placed in all her events at Regionals! Way to go, Anna!
