Swimmer Of The Month

February was a very exciting month for these three SDAC swimmers. All three of these athletes had set their goals 26 weeks ago. Not one of the three knew if their swimming goals would actually come true during the entire training cycle of 26 weeks, but they all knew that come February everything needed to be in check because it was time to compete in their biggest meets of the season. February was Championship month and all three put together a great month of training in the pool and it showed at the big meets.
