36 Swimmers braved the winter weather and drove over to Ellensburg to compete in this 2 day meet hosted by Tri-Cities.  With only one coach and a lot of cheering, we prepared, warmed up, and raced our hearts out.  As a coach of 12 years, this was one of the most impressive meets I’ve been to.  SWAT was a part of every single race.  We may not have won every race, but our swimmers were fighting for every place, every yard, and every best time.  36 swimmers, 140 best times, you do the math… At this point in the season, most swimmers are getting ready to have the best meet of the year at Champs.  If this was a dress rehearsal, I’ll be first in line to watch what SWAT does at Champs.  Great work everyone!
