After another banner school year for the Rhinelander High School swim program, the record board inside the Heck Family Community Pool received another facelift Wednesday, May 15 as the pool, varsity and conference records the team broke during the 2023-24 season were posted.

In total, 18 records were broken by this year’s teams (see below).

“There’s been years where that record board has not changed, years where we didn’t have anyone make it to state,” Hodag coach Jenny Heck said during the ceremony. “Now we have teams winning state and it’s really, really fun. Don’t take it for granted. It’s a cool thing to be a part of.”
