Great Work at Memorial Day Time Trial
Congratulations to all of our athletes who raced at our Memorial Day Time Trial! The AGUA coaches were impressed with our swimmers embraced during races, warm-ups, and on-deck COVID-19 protocols.

Ethan Pak and George Wang led the way in the pool, winning three events each. Ethan raced to the wall first in the 11 to 12 boys 50 fly, 100 free, and 200 IM while George did the same in the 9 to 10 boys 50 fly, 50 back, and 50 free. View our full list of event winners below.
