The Windham swimmers were “in the zone,” with the mindset to give 100 percent at each event. As soon as they hit the water, they can only be described as fast and furious, swimming with speed and agility.
Windham is a team made up of powerful swimmers, each one ready to compete. The energy in and around the pool was high; as there were many alumni swimmers visiting from Christmas break with excitement that ran through both fans and swimmers. As a team, Windham was tenacious, starting strong and continuing at that pace throughout their events.
Windham has high stamina, both individually and as a team, particularly noticeable in the 400 and 500-meter swims. Even when swimmers were visibly tired they persevered, putting everything they had towards the finish line. Windham is an unwavering team in the water.

“They were incredible today,” remarked assistant coach Kevin Roy. “I thought they swam some of the best swimming we’ve seen from them all season. It’s a trend with this team; they continually get better and better; we see things that we don’t expect that tell us what we have for a team and who we have for swimmers. It’s really positive and is something awesome to see . . . they really swam phenomenal today.”
