Interested in joining a sport? Why not check out the swim team?

The swim team is very inclusive and has such a wide variety of different divisions. This includes the 50 freestyle, 100 freestyle, 100 backstroke, 100 breastroke, 100 butterfly, 200 freestyle, 500 freestyle, and relay races for different strokes. So you have many options to choose from.

I asked Addison Kasden, a Sophomore on the Liberty Swim team, why should people join the swim team? She replied, “People should join swimming because it’s enjoyable. Of course, it’s a very time consuming sport, but you are able to make new friends, get in shape quickly and learn how to swim.” She is excited to meet new members and encourages you to try out.

            When it comes to new members, Addison emphasizes the importance of the meetings. The meetings are crucial to your performance and help you become stronger. As do your sets, which is the given distance you swim.

Though swim meets dont have an oriented time frame, meetings can last anywhere from 4-6 hours. Meetings can be in the afternoon or in the mornings and vary from location. So come and check out one of their competitions.
