Diving head first into Winter Training Plans

Whitman Swimmers have started preparing for our annual Winter Training Trip to Southern California. During the last part of Whitman's 4-week semester break from classes in January, the team will rendezvous in the L.A. area for some of the toughest training, and most fun bonding of the season. In addition to heightened training volumes and intensity, the trip offers us the opportunity to compete against teams outside of our region, which is especially important as we focus on becoming more nationally competitive.

And did I mention it's a lot of fun?!

The Team

Last year's team before the Athletic Banquet in May


After a week of tryouts, the 2007-08 team was set. We are all excited to have a big group this year! Joining our returning team are 17 new swimmers from as far and wide as Alaska and Virginia, and as near as Walla Walla. Capably leading this team are captains Ysbrand Nusse, Clint Collier, Erin Pettersen, and Nancy Alexander.
