The history of human swimming and competitive swimming is a remarkably fascinating topic that has incredible parallels to the social and cultural development and changes of man down through the ages. America has produced numerous competitive swimming heroes over the past century. Many of their biographies are intriguing and inspiring and important for us to know today. Gertrude Ederle demonstrated once and for all the tremendous athletic potential of women by completing the English Channel swim in 1926. One hundred years ago Duke Kahanamoku, the gifted and gracious Hawaiian, brought his rich swimming and surfing tradition to the modern world and dominated competitive swimming for over a decade. These are just two of dozens of inspirational figures from our sports history.

One of our swimmers shares her thoughts: "Over the past 3 + years of swimming I have come along way. Being a swimmer has changed a lot of my own characteristics and personal behavior. Swimming gave me great motivation to do my best with not only my swimming events but also in my school work and piano. I practice harder and I achieve more of my goals. Swimming has also made me more independent. For when I am in the water the only person who is going to win that event is "I". You must push yourself and work harder by your own means."
