When the Rec-Plex underwent pool renovations earlier in the season, the boys swim team needed a new practice location. For the last few weeks
, the team practiced at local Laurel Park pool from 5:30-7:30 p.m. They are currently back to practicing at their usual time at the Rec-Plex from 8-10 p.m.
“The time is much better at Laurel,” senior Brad Rapert said. “And the water is much warmer.”
The first swim meet is the night of Sept. 4. There are eight boys on the team this year, which is significantly larger than last year’s team of five swimmers.
“Since we have more swimmers, we can fill all the events and swim all the relays,” assistant coach Chip Crow said.
