Thirty-three of our 9 and older swimmers traveled to Christiansburg from February 25-27 for the 2021-22 SW District 9/Older Championship meet, working toward last minute cuts and bettering times.

Each swimmer buddied up with another team member over the weekend as well, and it was so much fun to see the posters and team spirit with kids cheering each other on! Thanks so much for all the hard work swimmers (and parents) put in to encouraging each other.
