SWAT Returns to the Water for the 2019 LC Season, Update Schedules Swim-A-Thon

Ted Teske

SWAT Returns to the Water for the 2019 Long Course Season!

Welcome back 2018-2019 IES Short Course Champions! 

We hope everyone had a safe and relaxing Spring Break.

Practices begin today for all training groups. The Schedule for April for all Whitworth Swimmers is below and continues through May 5. EWU Swimmers continue at their normal short course training schedule.

While the April Interim Training Schedule is not ideal, it is necessary to keep our swimmers in the water. As a team we are very fortunate to have the pool space and time that we do at Whitworth. Many teams across the country and several in our own LSC have uncomfortable training times year round. Keep in mind that this is only temporary, our training schedules will only get easier after these next four weeks and we are making the sacrifice now so we can enjoy a nicer facility when we get back into Whitworth next Fall.
