The St. Charles High swim team has been able to have a successful season despite difficulty getting pool time. COVID has affected all sports at St. Charles High this year, whether it be game cancellations or quarantined athletes. Swim has its own difficulties being that they can not practice at school. 

 “We now have 5 a.m. – 6:30 a.m. practices three days a week and practice both Saturdays and Sundays since our normal pool, the YMCA, can’t give us our normal times after school,” Claire Mosher one of the captains on the team said. “The change of not being in the water as often has made this season much harder because we miss out on so much crucial practice time. Also, with a smaller team, when someone gets quarantined it makes our small team even smaller which makes it hard to fill lanes in meets.” 

Even with these obstacles the girls continue to put in the work.
