The Jonathan Law girls swim and dive team is off to a great start this fall.

After coming off a 4-4 season and moving up a class this year, the team is 1-1 through September 14.

“The season is off to a great start and I’m thankful that we’re back to swimming in person meets,” assistant coach Mr. Lui said. “The girls have been giving 100% in every practice and I’m excited to see their hard work pay off in the coming weeks.”

Since last year, a lot has changed when it comes to COVID-19 rules. Meets were held virtually last year, but now limited amounts of spectators are back for the first time since 2019.

Swimmers also have to wear masks on deck regardless of vaccination status.

Everybody on the girls swim team has been working their hardest and doing their best at every practice. Twenty-three swimmers posted personal bests or times within a half second of their personal best at their first meet against Woodland.

“I am feeling very optimistic,” senior captain Makenna Sharpe said. “This year, we were moved up a class so we are expecting to see some strong competition and I am really hopeful that our girls are going to perform well.”

On September 14, Law beat Sacred Heart Academy 95-76.

“I am feeling pretty good about the upcoming season,” senior captain Emma Savoie said. “It’s my senior year and I know that the team is in great hands with head coach Mr. Rosner and assistant coach Mr. Lui.”

Lui said he loves what he has seen over the first few weeks of the season.

“The team culture is fantastic,” Lui said. “The girls support each other in every way possible which makes for a fun and competitive environment. The upperclassmen have been doing a great job providing leadership for the newer swimmers. We’re definitely on track to have a successful season.”
