Great work to all of our AGUA athletes who raced at the LIAC Spring Kickoff in Long Island, NY! Our swimmers got us off to a quick start this long-course season, setting countless personal bests, heat wins, and new qualification standards.
The team was led by Atticus Fogarty, who lowered the 13-14 AGUA Team Record in the 400-meter Freestyle (4:16.90), and Jade Golnar, who raced to four individual event wins in the 10 & Under Girls 50 Butterfly, 100 Butterfly, 50 Backstroke, and 100 Backstroke.
The AGUA coaches would also like to thank the following team members for exemplifying our team values of Respect, Accountability and Discipline: Mason Choi, Bea Chukwulozie, Leo De La Garza, John Huss, Sage Kidder, Maddie Perkins, Billy-jazz Pique, Jojo Plevin, Flip Smit van Riel, Flo Smit van Riel, Edward Strok, Alexandra Sun and Allison Zhu.
