Five Tsunamis Make All-Star Team and 11 Finish Top Ten!
Tsunamis Make Prestigious "All-Star Team" List for Southeastern Swimming!
Each season the results from the entire year are tabulated to determine the Southeastern Swimming All-Star team. I am proud to announce that 5 Tsunamis and 2 newcomer Tsunamis made the team for this past long course season! This is a remarkable achievement because it is quite literally the best of the best in Southeastern Swimming. When you get a moment, please congratulate these swimmers because their hard work in the pool certainly paid off this summer.

11 Tsunamis Finish The Long Course Season in the Top 10 Overall!
