Cold, wet and definitely not the easiest conditions… but that didn’t stop the fun, the cheering and the incredible togetherness of our Waterbender family!

Now we’re heading into the FINAL DAY today and we’re so excited to see what our swimmers have left in the tank!

One more day. One more push. Let’s finish strong, Waterbenders!
