On 9/18/21 our swimmers competed, for the first time, at the Metropolitan Open Water Championship at Ray Town Beach, NY. 14 of our swimmers accepted this challenge. Even though our swimmers always train hard in the pool, competing in the open water environment, especially for the first time, was something that pushed them out of their comfort zone. All 14 of our swimmers completed their races successfully and placed in the Top-8, receiving Medals at the awards ceremony.
