Although it seems as though Husky swimmers dived into the pool for the first practice of the season just a couple weeks ago, Coach Doug Peargin quickly dispells the myth.
His Huskies have just one regular season matchup left before district competition Feb. 11 and 12.
Saturday, the Huskies tuned up for that event, competing in the South Albany Invitational, a non-scoring meet, but important because it is held at the same pool as districts.
“The next time we’re in Albany, we’ll be trying to pick up a district trophy,” Coach Peargin said.
He added that his swimmers looked good Saturday as they continue to taper for the district and state swims.
Sweet Home swimmers host North Marion and Blanchett Thursday at 4 p.m.
