The boys kick off their season with two hour-long practices Mondays through Fridays, prepping for that first relay meet against Holland Christian next Thursday, Dec. 16. It’s gonna be a big meet seeing how it’s really gonna kick off the season. Quite literally, the guys will be testing the waters, getting their feet wet as some would say. Aside from swimming puns, this first meet is going to determine what the boys will need to do to prepare for what’s to come. Although the work ethic is looking pretty good on the Bucs end.
