Swim team prepares for season
With temperatures in the mild range the waters of Gilley Pool have been on the cool side. But the McMinnville Swim Team has been busy preparing for its first meet of the season, which was scheduled for Tuesday in Shelbyville.
Swim team coach Todd Willmore put the swimmers in the water last Thursday night for a mock meet. The team was divided into two groups the Sharks and Dolphins as the racers prepare themselves for the season’s opening meet.
“Everyone has been out here working hard,” said Willmore.
“I was glad that so many swimmers were able to see positive results tonight. The intrasquad meet offered a nice change of pace. Everyone seemed to enjoy the competition.
This should give us the chance to compete with any of our opponents this season.”
The team has been hard at work with daily practices since May 23.
The Sharks defeated the Dolphins 128-60 in the pre-season event.
