WINTERFEST 2012 RECAP
After a long week of tough workouts over the holiday break, our swimmers stepped up and had an impressive weekend in Maryland. Despite not being rested for this meet, most of the group were right on their best times and we had a good amount of kids going lifetime bests! As a group, the coaches are seeing more and more confidence from the swimmers and a much-improved understanding of race strategy. This was a great meet to set us up for the YMCA State Champs in March.
