Coach O’Connor –  “My thoughts on the upcoming season are to continue improving our effort daily and weekly.  So far, our kids have done a really nice job of improving their level of commitment both in the offseason and preseason, especially by many athletes who are underclassmen.

“We have a great schedule that will also challenge our kids weekly.  Our kids are really excited to continue to get to what normal was prior to Covid.  This year’s senior class is the only one who has any memory of what swimming and diving meets were really like, but usually we hope to grow from the first year so this year many student-athletes will see how much fun high school swimming can really be.”
