Swimmers continue to perform well as regular season winds down

The Chinook and Harlem swim teams continue to work hard in the pool as they prepare for the upcoming Divisional and State swim meets.

Due to early printing the Harlem results were not included in last weeks edition. The swimmers swam very well in Glasgow two weeks ago and Chester and Malta last week.
