Time Trials

Here are boys warming up for the big time trial. We saw some great performances for the first week of the season. I can't wait to see what they do at the first meet.

Parents Practice

This Saturday morning (11/25) is our annual Parents Practice. The whole family is invited to come and watch the boys practice. We will train from 8-9:30, and then from 9:30-11 the boys will swim a time trial in a few events. Plan on being there!

WHOI story on Katie Childs

Jim Mattson was at the pool this evening to film a story on Katie Childs and her recent third place finish in the 500 freestyle at the state swim meet. The story is scheduled to air on the 6pm news on Wednesday night.

PND Girls Make a Splash!

The PND Girls swim team just swam the greatest swim meet in our history. They qualified for Saturday's finals in three events. The 200 Medley Relay and the 200 Freestyle Relay qualified in the top 12, and Katie Childs became the first swimmer in our school's history to make it into the Top 6. Every one of the heats is very close. With a good day tomorrow, they could place top 15 in the State!

This is the time of FAMILY

Hello All,

Family (as defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary) : a group of people united by certain convictions or a common affiliation. We ARE a family united with a purpose. Sacrifice: destruction or surrender of something for the sake of something else. These swimmers have sacrificed so much to make this team what it is today. I am asking the entire Notre Dame Swimming and Diving family to come this Saturday to Rock Island High School and honor their sacrifice. Ladies, the work has been done. It is time to see your hard work, dedication, and sacrifice pay off. Afterwards, let's celebrate their accomplishments as a family and give glory and praise to God for making it happen. Please pray for these young ladies now and throughout this weekend. Come support your family as they embark on the next step in their journey.
