The Novice and Level 1 groups of the Dynamo Swim Team closed out the team’s first winter season with a small, Dynamo-exclusive meet at the Jewish Community Center on Sunday afternoon, March 15.  Approximately twenty swimmers participated in the meet, competing against each other in the 25 Freestyle, 25 Backstroke, 25 Breaststroke, 25 Butterfly, and 50 Freestyle individual events, as well as the 100 Medley and Freestyle relays.  Many parents came to cheer on their children and to witness the progress all the swimmers made during the season.  It was a fun, informal way to show off the results of each child’s hard work over the last several months!
