Championship meets have morning preliminary swims and the top 20 swimmers will race again in the evening for finals. This type of swim meet style is common when you start to advance to bigger competitions. This is a great stepping stone leading into LA 2028!
 
 
Best of luck to our swimmers competing this weekend at Sectionals at Mt.Sac College in Brea from 12/19- 12/22 Friday- Monday. Come support our senior swimmers if you are in town during the holidays!!
