Swimmers take on new strategy for season

girls swimmingAfter beginning the season this year with two new coaches, the girls swim team has already started introducing an entirely new strategy for their season. The girls will no longer put any focus on the diving category at regional meets; instead, the team will solely work to improve swimming scores.


“Coach Ramach and I both feel we can be better used as swim coaches for the girls, than to put all of our attention onto one single diver,” head coach Chip Crow said.
In previous years, one diver, even on a full team of swimmers, would occupy all of one coach’s time, while the other coach would focus on swimming. However, to have a team of only swimmers, like this year, would mean both coaches putting full attention on swimming alone. Consequently, not participating in the diving category at meets is slowly hurting North’s scores. However, the points lost by not participating in the diving category are now earned back with increases in other swimming categories, due to this new strategy.
“It can bring our scores down sometimes,” junior Lizzie Johnson said. “Just swimming helps us to stay more focused as a team though. It brings us together.”
