Coach's Corner
Head Coach
Adam Epstein said, "This was an exciting first dual meet of the season. Coach Keith and I are very proud of the way we swam today. We talked all week about how every point matters and they bought in. Our girls swam lights out and showed great improvements from last week. Our boys stepped up to the plate to beat a phenomenal SCAD team. There were some great battles that will be fun to watch again at nationals. We now turn our attention to Rollins and Lynn next week."

Up Next
