Great Weekend in Mobile for 7 Tsunamis!

Small Group of Tsunamis Brings Home Big Results From Mobile!

Your Tsunamis went to Coach Brian’s backyard (Mobile) and showed that it doesn’t take a lot of swimmers to produce great swims at a meet.  We had 7 swimmers attend the CMSA Meet and all 7 of them came home with some lifetime best times.  Four of those swimmers achieved new Southeastern qualifying times and 6 of them had swims that put them in the Top 10 All-Time for PCST in their respective age group.  Well done Tsunamis!!

Chad McGuire Sets 2 New Team Records!
Chad has quickly made himself one of the greatest breaststrokers in team history by bettering 2 of his 10 & Under Boys team records.  Awesome job Chad!

All-Time PCST Rankings Keep Getting Rewritten!
We may have had a small group in Mobile, but they were a very talented group of kids.  From the 6 Tsunamis that had swims ranking them in the Top 10 all-time for their age group with PCST, 15 new times were updated.  Very impressive guys.......keep it up!

4 Tsunamis Get New SES Times!
With every Southeastern cut our Tsunamis achieve, we get a little bit closer to our team goal of finishing in the Top 15 overall at the Southeastern Championships this summer in Nashville.  We will need every swimmer we can get for their best individual performances as well as relays!
