The co-op boys swim team between Jonathan Law and Foran is diving into another amazing season. 

With new head coach Mr. Lui and new assistant coach Ms. Burns the team hopes to have a record-breaking year. 

“I’m both honored and excited to be the new head coach,” Lui said. “As a team, we made great progress last year and were competitive with many schools in our division.”

Burns is ready to take the position of assistant coach and help the team succeed as much as possible.

“I am really excited,” said Burns. “I have been at Law for 11 years and have never had the chance to coach so I am super grateful for this opportunity.”

Last season, the team’s record was 2-9.

“We ended the regular season on a positive note with many best times across the board,” said Lui.  The boys’ swim season is long and sometimes it can be difficult to stay motivated; however, swimmers from both Law and Foran helped create an environment that promoted success and drive.”

Junior Justin Goglia is looking forward to making this season even better than last year.

“This year I want to improve my swimming in general , like my 500 free and the 100 backstroke,” said Goglia. “My favorite part from last year would be going to Opens at Yale for the first time to swim the 500 free.”

Although some events are individual, boys swim is truly a team sport.

“Each swimmer brings something unique to the team, both in and out of the pool,” said Lui. “I’m looking forward to continuing building on our team culture this year and to provide a positive learning environment where student-athletes can thrive and reach their goals.”

With a larger “pool” of swimmers and new leadership, the team is looking forward to an exciting season. 

“Last year our relay was only off by three seconds for state championships so I am really looking forward to working towards making that,” said senior captain Bruno Sequera. “Personally, I was only off by two seconds on my 100 freestyle to make state championships so I would want to accomplish that as well.”
