Pugsley's Plunge -- the Results are in!
Great job swimmers! The results from Pugsley's Plunge are in and our kids swam well and put in a lot of new personal bests. The important thing to remember is not what position a swimmer finished in but whether it was a personal best time. Swimming is a team AND individual sport and the best is that the swimmer always competes against him/herself. All our swimmers here had best times and that is what makes the coach most proud --- to see that the hard work put in at the pool shows when at a competition.
