New swimmers look to adapt and help Valley swim bounce back
Senior Captain Zachary Berde swims freestyle in an attempt to win his race. Check out both the boys and girls swim teams at their first meet on Thursday Dec. 8 at Bethany Community.
Head Coach: Courtney Rems (4th year)
Last year’s record: Boys: 3-6, Girls: 4-6
Key Returners:
Boys – Captain (Sr) Zach Berde, (Jr) Juan Zapateiro, (Jr) Brian Yang
Girls- Captain (Sr) Amelia Sileo, (Sr) Emilia Liguori
Key Losses: Max Fominykh, Cori Freeman (University of Vermont), Katie Yoo
Strengths and Weaknesses of team:
Strength: “We have a few newcomers, which is good because they won’t need to learn the sport,” Rems said.
Weakness: “Because we have so many newcomers, we will have to show the newcomers how a high school swim meet works compared to a club one,” Rems said.
Outlook on the season: Coach Rems is looking forward to the season and is very excited for the newcomers to come along.
