Road to Paris/Senior Development Invite January 14-16 La Mirada hosted a three-day prelims-finals meet during MLK weekend for Senior-level athletes throughout SoCal.

Despite the weather being less than optimal and racing in both pool formats, our Rose Bowl athletes swam very well and with some great efforts throughout each session. We took both the rain and sunshine in stride...

Go the Distance Intrasquad Meet January 13-14, 2023 Our team started 2023 with many of our athletes swimming longer events, many for the first time ever!

We did an incredible job of shaking off the post-holiday blues and successfully raced through two days. A special shoutout to our Rose Bowl athletes who swam in events for the first time....
