Rhinelander Swim club hosts Freezin' Season Invite
The club welcomed seven teams to the pool and had a record number of RSC swimmers attend.
"I asked a lot from all of the swimmers this meet," coach Megan Chila said. "Everyone had some great swims, even if they were out of their comfort zone. It was nice to see so many of our athletes laughing and smiling behind the blocks before they swam. Atoli Hildebrand and Anna Crossman swam their hearts out, even when asked to swim new strokes. I never saw them with anything but a smile on their faces. Eva Heck really stepped it up and swam the best I've seen her swim. The most challenging combination of events was swum by both Ella Cordy and Phoebe Moran. They both had the 500 free and 1000 free. Not once did they question me, instead they gladly took on the challenge. They swam each race with determination and even confided after that it wasn't that bad! This 2018-19 RSC crew continue to amaze me and exceed all expectations!"
