The swim team is having a special season, due to the fact that the school pool is under construction. This year, the swim team’s practice moved to 6:00 pm and takes place at Ladera Oaks. According to Colby Cheung (10), this is a “really different season from last season because we have a smaller team and shorter practices.” Despite the situation, they still have all of their core swimmers participating and they are all extremely excited for this season. Junior Mick Jeon (11) enjoys swimming in the new environment, “Although practice is later, Ladera Oaks has a nice heated pool, real size diving boards, and it is always nice to swim under the night sky.” Emily Kuo (11) agrees and she also thinks that the new schedule allows her “to participate in other after school extracurriculars without missing practice.”
Most team members’ favorite part of practice is the diving, because it is the most fun out of all drills, and it feels extremely fulfilling when you improve every other time. Mick also mentioned that something special about this year’s practices is how fun the ride back to school is, because “We get to talk to each other a lot, and bond as a team.”
Overall, the swim team is striving to improve as a team, while adapting to the new environment and practice schedule. Kieran Pandey (11) can only attend few practices a week due to the new schedule, but he is “aiming to work hard during practice and do his best at the meets.” Mick adds on that he wants to “beat personal and group records to improve as a team.”
