Stars-
July 22, 2022: If you ask my daughter, it was making new friends like mind and being able to be in a university setting. In addition, the staff were very friendly and hospitable. I really enjoyed that it was a small group enough to allow the coaches to give constructive feedback so that the swimmers can improve. Amelia really like Tank and his presence!

July 22, 2022: Despite 15 months on a competitive team, stroke technique needed work to improve times. We were also interested in having female coaches and role models for the girls on our team, which is what grabbed my attention initially.
