Coach Todd Gabel said, “The team is very strong and we will continue to work hard all season to finish up well at Conference and State.”

Last year, the team did very well, and got second in the Suburban West Championship, so the expectations are to do just as well if not better for an experienced swimming team.

Their next event is on Dec. 6, against Mehlville.
