The Importance of High School Swim
The beauty of high school sports is that it presents one of your last chances to experience competitive athletics. When you were little, you could sign up for any sport that interested you. It didn't matter if you were any good at it or had never done it before - you could experience it, enjoy it, and learn from it whenever you wanted. For most, those days are quickly coming to end. High School sports are your last opportunity to join a competitive physical activity.

Too many kids have been taught that the goal of High School sports is to achieve an ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP. But that is not in the cards for most of us.
