February was a very busy at the Christiansburg Aquatic Center. The CAC hosted five swim meets. At one of the big meets – Appalachian Swim Conference – we had one of the swimmers proposed to a teammate.

The answer was “yes.” At this same meet, we had dancing and lip-syncing on the blocks during breaks between events – performed by male swimmers. It is always fun at these meets.

There are only two meets in March – Age Group Champs March 9-12 and the USA Swimming Sectionals March 29-April 2.
