Sage Hill Swim and Dive is making a splash again with the start of swim season. In its second year with the Pacific Coast League, the team looks forward to more improvements and opportunities to push themselves during meets. So far, they’ve earned a 1-1 win-loss ratio, losing against Northwood in their first meet and besting Laguna Hills in their second.
With dedicated coaches and hard working athletes, the team has shown immense improvement. Head Coach Pavle Filipovic believes there’s still more work to be done.
“We can definitely grow more when it comes to different strokes and some events that swimmers are still uncomfortable doing. [Our team] can also further improve in events we’re already good at,” Filipovic said. “We can work on team unity and cohesiveness, cheering and helping each other out, being prepared and competing at a high standard at every meet.”
The team’s success isn’t just about simply winning meets; it’s about their collaborative spirit.
“Although practice can be rigorous, it’s fun with swim meets being chill and you can hang out with friends and cheer for them,” sophomore Aizen Martin del Campo said.
The camaraderie among team members fosters a supportive environment, contributing to their overall swimming experience. The team’s commitment to excellence is evident in their individual and relay performances, setting a high standard for our school’s aquatic achievements.
“We are going to compete hard from meet to meet and constantly improve,” Filipovic said. “I look forward to seeing where we end up at League Finals and how much we are going to grow as a team.”
