As always, beyond the thrill of some amazing races, we’re most proud of our athletes’ efforts and excellent sportsmanship. Our deep thanks to our athletes’ parents and guardians, our coaches and peer coaches-the greatest volunteers in the world-and our life guards throughout the season; all those who support our athletes and our club throughout the year so our swimmers can SHINE!
Here are just a few of the many great memories from the 2016 Summer Games. (Click on any picture for a closer look.)
