Competitive swimming includes competing in four different styles, or strokes, of swimming: butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle. Meets have several events in which swimmers may swim various distances and strokes, racing against other competitors and the clock. Practices are after school in the Natatorium, and the team also participates in “dry land” workouts, which include building strength through running, weight training, and more.
