2022 Outlook: The strengths of the team is that the seniors are evry determine to leave their mark as PHS swimmers. They are strong leaders and work well together in relays and as captains. The returning swimmers have been working hard over the summer.
The Juniors are a tight group which are going to challenge the seniors for A relay positions. We have some freshman who are new to the sport of swimming but have already proven tough in practices. Nick and Austin should be able to handle the competition in the Skyland conference which will hopefully improve our rankings this year.
