The Boys swam in three different pools this week. More time trials and test sets showed the coaching staff that the team is looking ready to race.  The boys are looking forward to their first meet on Dec. 5th at Horseheads… The Route 13 Rivalry.  First they will take on the challenge of Thanksgiving week practices….

The Little Red had a great training week.

We saw best times in time trials, some rookies learning the meaning of hard work, and some swimmers volunteered at the Turkey Shoot Lacrosse tournament that helps benefit the IHS Sports Boosters.  The Coaches look forward to another great week.  Go Little RED!!!

The Little Red have had quite a week.  There are a lot of new faces, and a solid core of returning Little Red Aquanauts.  Truly adaptable, the team has practiced in 3 different pools this week as they await news on the status of I.H.S. natatorium.

Michael Guan won the Dryland challenge this week and there were impressive time trial swims!  Let’s Go Red!
