DALRYMPLE PERSPECTIVE

• Tonight was a solid step in our march toward our upcoming championship season. This weekend is about getting back in the pool and racing. We spent some time before Christmas training and growing as swimmers, but all breaks force swimmers to regroup a little. This meet features some great competition which will help get us refocused after the Christmas break.
