HIGHLIGHTS

· In our inaugural season, our coach put together a team of individuals with little to no competitive swimming experience. He trained us well and kept our attitudes positive. We were more or less in a participation mode rather than a competitive situation. Our first meet was against Howard University. We came in with about seven or eight swimmers and Howard had 20 or 30. I guess you could say that it was a highlight just being able to field a team. Other teams that I can recall on our schedule were Morgan, Delaware State, UMES, Shepherd College, and Hartford Community College.

· Our second season was met with great optimism as we would be joined by Coach Lynn Lawson’s big prized recruit: Robert “Red Dog” Talley. The team was built around Robert and local Bowie HS grad Tommy Price. We began to experience some success (win some races).
