By Tyler L
The SAISA swimming trials took place on Tuesday, August 17th and Saturday, August 21st.
On the first day swimmers competed in freestyle and breaststroke, and on the second day they swam butterfly and backstroke. The times ranged from 34 - 53 seconds in freestyle, and as much in the other three strokes. The coaches chose five athletes for each age category, as well as alternates for 12 & Under Girls and 15 & Over Girls. Below is a list of the thirty-two swimmers who made it onto the SAISA team.
