Coach Beaumont comments: It’s always nice to get a win the the first time out, but with so many new swimmers I think it was more important to finally have a chance to experience a meet and race against someone besides ourselves. This early in the season we are still working on improving our conditioning, and that is something that will improve each week. There are always first meet nerves and jitters, but overall I thought we got past those and competed well. We saw some nice things from both our veterans as well as our rookies. We are looking forward to our first of 4 home meets next Thursday at the BCC pool.
