How did the Sacred Heart Greenwich varsity swim team prepare for the Catholic Championships?

“The Sacred Heart swim team prepared for the Catholic Championships by training hard every day in practice.  Preparing in practice and giving every practice your all is crucial to building up stamina, speed, and confidence for individual races.  In practice, some sets are built to have an opportunity to practice a different stroke that you are swimming in the meet to improve speed and technique.”

Was the swim team successful at the meet?

“Throughout the meet, we had several lifetime best times.  The team placed eighth out of 22 teams from all over the country.  We were successful in the water but also out of the water.  Out of the water, every single member of the team showed support and shared words of encouragement with teammates before races.  All of these successes really unified our team this weekend, and I am so excited to see what the future holds for this team.”

How was collaborating with Sacred Heart 91 Street valuable?

“Collaborating with Sacred Heart 91 Street was valuable because we had the opportunity to meet other Sacred Heart girls and bond over the same sport.  It was interesting to compare the same Sacred Heart traditions we share along with learning about their lives.  Both teams cheered each other on, and it was such a fantastic opportunity to meet other Sacred Heart girls.”
