The Senior Elite swimmers were invited to participate in a trials and finals meet against 6 other teams in from our LSC. We took this meet seriously as an opportunity to swim fast in the middle of their high school season and see where they were after some great training to start off this year. On a couple days of rest, the swimmers really rose to the occasion and swam great; recording many best times, earning spots in finals in nearly every event, and even claiming a few individual championships!...

From Coach Brad: The Heartbreaker was a true test of character this year, as cold temperatures and constant rain battered the swimmers throughout the weekend. Despite the adverse conditions, however, the Senior Elite group rose to the occasion, and managed to turn in quite a few great performances. After spending our first few weeks of the New Year working on technique for all of our strokes, the Elite group came into the weekend looking to implement some of their new changes. Overall I saw some great progress – the swimmers...

The All Star tri-meet with San Diego and Central California found Sierra Nevada in second place behind San Diego.

From Coach Wedaman: The weather finally caught up with us; it was cold. This meet is a senior meet which means that the swimmers in the meet are 13 and up, lots of high school aged and some college aged swimmers. That means that our 13 and 14 year olds had to step up to the next level in their swimming and swim like the big guys and they did a very good job of that and also handling the weather. This being a trails and finals meet means that...

From Coach Lauren: Our dual meet with CCA was cold, but successful! For many Vaca swimmers this was their first meet, and they did an amazing job! They learned how a meet ran, how to swim fast races, and how to have fun doing it. For our experienced swimmers, this meet was challenging and rewarding. The cold was a huge factor for most, but everyone persevered and swam great races. We had many best times and several first-time swims in the 500 free. All swimmers should be proud of what...
