24-Hour Swim Completed!!!

This weekend the team took on a 24-hour swim-a-thon and had amazing results. Not only did they raise a lot of money for team travel they also raised over $1,100 for ALS in memory of Patricia Walters.

The team was led in the pool by Sophomores Sarah Vrudny (10.94 miles), Mary Walters (10.8 miles), Bridget Perkins (10.48 miles), and First-Year Melanie Maas (10.41 miles). Each member of the team swam at least 8 miles and total they swam 170.44 miles or 5,624.5 laps! Amazing work for just being 2 weeks into the season.

The above numbers are impressive but more impressive was Sophomore Captain Reba Bisciglia who swam just over 9 miles with three of those being butterfly. She was determined to make the most of her pledges to earn money for ALS and the team. Below is a picture of her swimming fly.


Here are some pictures of the team hanging out:



And some pictures proving that they did get some sleep!


On Saturday morning some of our Alumnae joined us to pump up the energy on the deck and to push the current team to get in more yards. Thanks for joining us!!!
Why aren't these two more motivated before their last 20 minute swim?
