As we swam this weekend both in the clinic and at Southgate, one thing occurred to me. I couldn't be more proud of the many swimmers that stepped up and did a great job. From the swimmers who voluntarily chose to go to the stroke clinic to give their fellow swimmers a chance to swim this week, to the swimmers that stepped up to score some huge points for our team. I have always known that Bluefin swimmers were a great group of kids, but this week many have shown lots of growth.
