There are about 12 girls who are fighting to fill positions. They're working so hard.

Jessica is new to the team. She drives down from Sarasota Military Academy each day to swim with us.

Tim Tudor and Stephen Taylor are new to swimming, but they've dropped their times and are in the top five in the 50 freestyle.

The thing I see the most is that the kids are working harder than ever. They're racing tired, but they're still dropping times.

My girls really wanted it. That's why they kept fighting and fighting.

I try to encourage them to keep fighting. I like helping the girls and pushing them through the match.
