Congratulations to our WEZO participants: |
| Over the last week, Cynthia, Abigail, Mizuki, Charlotte, Owen, Jonathan, Asher, Cole, Connor, Nathan, Baran and Evan competed at Senior Western Zones in St. George, UT. It was a long 4 day week with many, many new personal best times, final swims and super fun relay swims. Our swimmers did amazing well and you can see some of the fun we had on our instagram page. 
Congratulations to everyone swimming and many, many thanks to our amazing chaperones, Ellie and Tania! |
