Strength of team: The girls team is looking to have another strong season, and improve upon the nine wins from a year ago. Pascack Swimming has an experienced group of seniors that have consistently improved since their freshman year for both the boys and girls. Both teams also have a lot of promising underclassmen that will take on large roles.

Weakness of team: The team will be younger than in years past, since nine seniors graduated from a year ago. This year, the team will have to fill the voids left by Cassidy Freeman and Peressini. The team is also a bit short on swimmers, with less participants than in years past.

Outlook: This season, both teams are looking to improve on last season. One specific goal that the girls have is to capture a league title for the ninth straight season.

Coach’s Comment: “I look forward to seeing how our smaller group of upperclassmen are going to lead our big group of underclassmen. I can’t wait to see what our freshman and sophomores can do. And for the girls we are hoping for another league title,” Farrell said.

Editor’s Note: PV Swim Team is currently 0-1 after falling to Ridgewood on Dec. 2. The girls lost 106-64, while the boys lost 101-69.
