CAC’s Senior Swimmers demonstrated poise and sportsmanship grabbing 54 top ten finishes at the LRAC meet held Saturday and Sunday, June 9-10 at UConn’s 6 lane 50 meter pool in the University’s Wolff-Zakin Natatorium.

Thirteen of CAC’s Senior Swimmers combined top form and excellent conditioning for a first class performance at their season’s second meet.

CAC’s program focuses on training swimmers to swim at their best in all competitive situations. At this point in their 2012 Long Course season training is focused on high quality, high-yardage workouts.

The swimmers compete tired and must focus on delivering high performance swims in good form while fatigued from a rigorous 6 day a week training program. The swimmers showed their stuff with regular appearances in the top ten spots.

Leading the charge for CAC and demonstrating the best qualities of dedicated hard working swimmers were CAC’s developing senior team. These swimmers demonstrate the work ethic and desire to improve that leads to results. These swimmers mix the high spirited fun of working hard with their teammates with the daily hard work and quality training that it takes to truly improve.
