Daniel Gordon is a freshman at Spring Grove High School who has broken many records already this year. The Swim Team as a whole has only lost to Central this year.
Daniel swims everyday, alternating between Spring Groves team and the YMCA team. His practices consist of intensity, power, or distance swim. At the YMCA he goes to larger meets called USA meets.
Daniel states that the swim teams strengths are springing and relays. His personal strengths are freestyle and butterfly strokes. Daniel swims because he is a natural swimmer but also enjoys it. Swimming keeps Daniel in shape with its consistent training.
In the past the swim team had participated in relays, dual meets, counties, districts, and states. Currently the swim team is second in the district.
The team hopes to grow and compete big meets like the “Big Springs Meet.” Currently the teams largest goal is to send a reply to states or have swimmers make it to states. They are hoping that the team will win districts.
