Saint Augustine Swim Team

Wishing our Cyclone swimmers and families a truly unforgettable and star-spangled 4th of July 🎆🧨

Our Saint Augustine Cyclones delivered a massive weekend of racing — finalists, huge time drops, breakthrough swims, and championship effort across every lane. Proud of every athlete who stepped up and represented the Cyclones with heart. Through scorching heat and marathon‑length sessions, our Cyclones showed what toughness truly looks like. It was a very hot, very long meet — but our athletes persevered, stayed locked in, and delivered huge swims all weekend.
