Bowdoin Open Championship

2009 Bowdoin Open Championship Meet

Thank you to all the swimmers, parents and coaches who made the trip to Bowdoin College this weekend for three days of fun in the pool.  We attained our goals of swimming fast and having fun.  The exciting team atmosphere led to personal best times, New England and National qualifying times and Meet Records.  Swimmers took risks and learned that they were capable of much more than they thought previously.  Swimmers made new friends, learned more about old friends and many team bonds were strengthened.  Overall it was a very successful trip and we will work to plan similar trips in the near future.
