 Tuesday evening, Lorraine Swimmers swam off against Howell swimmers. Around 100 plus swimmers competed in this event.  we estimate around 300 hundred spectators attend this event.
We spoke to Henslie Darke-Schrieber (age 6) before her first race, she stated that “I am ready to swim and push my self to swim my hardest.” Henslie did just that and came in first place in her breaststroke race.
We also spoke to Hadlie Darke-Schrieber (age 8), sister of Henslie, she told us “I have prepared hard for this.” She also won her breaststroke race. Both qualified for the city meet in July.
In total, there were close to 150 swimmers at the meet. There were 11 age groups. Those being, 6 & Under, 7 & 8, 9 & 10, 11 & 12, 13 & 14, 15 – 18, 19 – 30, 31 – 41, 42 – 54, 55 – 64, and 65 & Over.
All of those age groups compete in 7 different events. Those being, Backstroke, Breaststroke, Butterfly, Freestyle, Individual Medley, Medley Relay, and Freestyle Relay.
Next Tuesday, Helfrich swims off against Lorraine. Howell swims off against Lloyd.
