GIRLS SWIMMING SECTIONAL PRELIMS at Valpo High School 2026

“Right now, my goal is to get to finals and just have a good time. I swam the 200 free relay, the 200 I.M. earlier and later I’m swimming the 100 Yd. Breast stroke and the 200 free relay.”…”The advice I want to give is not to compare yourself to other people and just stay confident in yourself, make sure you’re not doubting yourself, and just be confident.” -Evelyn Cooney (Wheeler High School)

“Swimming off-season Vs. Swimming during on-season can be both competitive and recreational because you’re staying in shape for high school. There’s also different events during off season than in high school such as the mile swim, the two fly, the 1,000 2:00 breaststroke, the 4-I.M”…”I think training over the summer is a lot harder because you have to train in meters instead of yards like during regular season and the events are a lot tougher!” (Lux Mountford, Claire Swistek, and Emily Hoffman -Chesterton High School)
