Tsunami’s short course season got started with a bang this past weekend at the Hanover Happy meet! Tsunami’s swimmers did phenomenally! There were more personal bests and time drops than we can count, along with a ton of first-time swims and time standards met, some age group cuts and even a team record broken (look for a separate post on that soon!). Every single Tsunami swimmer should be so proud of themselves for their performance!
