Sitting at a pool that I swam a meet in the early 80’s, makes one think about over 40 years in swimming. In life you never know when the end of a career is coming so it always nice to have great memories. Starting in 1983 at Fairwind Summer swim club to 2025!

Since Dec 20, the team has trained over 90,000 yards. They’ve built a strong foundation . By embracing the uncomfortable the boys are building resilience that will serve them well in future. This is just the beginning of their journey to excellence. @Cadets_hockey @AllThingsSTA
