Up at 6:30 A.M., on the bus by 8:30 A.M.

Sound crazy, exhausting, maybe even insane? This is just a normal day for a swimmer.

While people sleep soundly at 6:30, the swim team is diving into a pool, swimming laps alongside allies, friends, peers, and our rivals at separate schools.

“I believe the team is still adjusting to our new swim schedule, it is going faster and more intense, but they are handling it well.” –Justyn Payne

It’s true that practice is a difficult task to preform, but it becomes second nature, to the point where you find yourself waking up early on summer break out of habit.
