Distance Meet Success

Cary, N.C.- On Sunday January 3rd a large number of Wave swimmers took to the pool at TAC to swim in the distance meet.  Most of Wave’s swimmers just coming off of some difficult holiday training were able to light the pool on fire with a tremendous amount of fantastic swims.  Beginning with the 400 IM then the 500 free, the 1000 and the mile, swimmers dropped chunks of times and several qualified for championship meets in their events.  These are the types of meets that Wave swimmers like to excel and the program has been geared around getting the swimmers better prepared to swim the longer and more challenging events.  After another hugely successful distance meet it is clear that Wave is setting a great standard of excellence by swimming so well in some of the sports more challenging races.  Nice job by everyone who swam and if the results of this meet are any indication of how the rest of the season will play out, you won’t want to miss it!

Way to go swimmers and GO WAVE!
