Coach Perkins Quote
"The team is excited for our first home meet. We hope to swim fast, have high diving scores and win both meets. However, our main goals are to focus on doing the small things well; starts, turns & approaches, controlling our race paces and tempos and competing to the best of our abilities. If we do those things well, good things will happen."
