CoEd Swim, one of the few CoEd teams on the school campus, has been dominating the season so far with six 4-way wins, two 4-way sweeps, and a few ties. There are many ways the team can crumble, but with its stacked lineup and fantastic team chemistry there no way this team could be stopped.

With many wins so far, the team has a likely shot to becoming Pacific League Champions, with few complications in its way. Winning against Burbank High School and South Pasadena High School with a 4-way sweep, the Pacific League competition seems to be no match against the team.

Sophomore Natalia Jun stated, “We’re doing really well, we’ve won all of our dual meets 4-way” and that, “this year is a memorable one since [the JV team] was able to swim in the Los Amigos Relay,” which is traditionally a Varsity-only meet. Winning all of its dual meets so far means the season is going to be a breeze for the team, but with an upcoming meet against Crescenta Valley, the team is training hard to beat them and maintain its record.

The team’s strengths are that the team has great endurance and that instead of putting all its good swimmers in a single event, they’re placed across a variety of different events. This means the team is great across the board and doesn’t have to rely on just one stacked event to win the competition.

Sophomore Hannah Kim said that one strength of the team “is team spirit, but it is hard to find a specific strength because the team is all around strong.” Another strength the team has is its chemistry and how each member supports everyone on the team. Natalia said that “The team has good chemistry this year; everyone has a friend they can talk to and no one dislikes each other. We’re pretty energetic, people cheer for swimmers in the race from the other side. Everyone’s loud.” Some weaknesses the team faces is that swimmers occasionally miss their events due to being too relaxed at meets, and that swimmers get disqualified due to early starts. To work improve on its weaknesses, the team is working on its dive starts and taking competition more seriously in order to gain more points.

The swimmers’ teamwork and team chemistry are what makes their team so great. Though there are some things the team needs to improve on, in the long run there is little opposition for this team. With a fantastic record and great team coordination, CoEd Swim is on its way to becoming Pacific League Champs. Individually, many swimmers are likely to qualify for postseason CIF as well. AHS wishes the team good luck at Prelims!
