The majority of Berkeley Hall swimmers swam their individual best times at the meet, some of them even improving their times by 6 seconds!

Coach Cyd Crickard played a pivotal role in developing the new swimmers.  And Coach Sanjay Chandani said, "If I were to give a most improved swimmer award it would have to be Pranaya Singh."

Logistical and behind the scene support was provided by Coach Melanie. The team's lifeguard Chris also was a great help.

Last but not the least, our Berkeley Hall parents were simply amazing. They came to all the meets, provided snacks and were our biggest cheerleaders!

Coach Sanjay finished with, "I am really proud of our swimmers; they gave it their all! Thank you for making this a fun and successful swim season."
