After a long fourteen months of excitement and anticipation, Christian High’s pool is finally open! Back in October of 2022, renovation for the new and improved pool began. Prior to this renovation, the pool only had five lanes which created issues as our swim team began to expand. However, with the addition of three more lanes, our school is now able to host a 37-person team to compete this season. When asked what the most exciting thing about the new pool was, Junior (and Captain) Noah Lewis stated, “Definitely the ability to host swim meets at the school and having friends show up to meet has been a really fun thing this season.” Likewise, Junior Dani Ayala mentioned, “Honestly it was the fact we didn’t have to go to 5:00 am practices at Granite anymore.”
The 2024 Christian High Varsity Swim Team has had an outstanding season this year! The boys are currently undefeated and although the girls aren’t undefeated, they have had so many great wins and consistent PRs. In an interview with Dani Ayala, she mentioned how the team has “done AMAZING! The team bonding and personal records being smashed left and right are ridiculous.” Our swimmers have been working so hard this season and have bonded so much through specified team bonding nights, after-meet dinners, Swole Week, and even just through practice.
When asked what he has learned throughout his time in swim, Noah Lewis responded with, “Either the importance of working for the things you want or how important it is to have encouraging friends and teammates to surround you.” According to both Noah and Dani, two of the major highlights from the season were the CHS Invitational and the last day of Swole Week. Come watch the CHS Swim Team as we move into the postseason!
