Coach Hering's Perspective
"Both the men's and the women's swimming team have been training very rigorously through this winter training camp.. Some of the best workouts we have had the entire season. Coach Rob and I both have seen more energy, joy and team unity than we have ever seen and that is success!"

"Our Tri-meet against Rollins College and Oklahoma Christian University was challenging because everyone was broken down, but we had a few National B cuts and great technical and race strategy improvements.  We are in good shape for our upcoming meets!"
