Senior 1:
The senior 1 swimmers began the season with a solid performance at the fishers meets. Drew Collis lead the way with 100% best times. As each swimmers discovered the key to a great short course season in fast and consistent underwaters. The senior 1 swimmers are transition from a more aerobic 50 meter course to a more anaerobic 25 yard pool. The transition is not easy and does not happen overnight. It requires attending all practices with a focus on improvements 4 speed and distance underwaters.

Senior 2:
The Senior II swimmers performed very well in Fishers. The biggest take away from the meet will be how much we learned about ourselves as to where we are right now. I think that if we look back at how we swam in October of last year and compare those times to where we were over the weekend everyone will see some remarkable improvements. I am excited to see the season play out.

Colby Johnson dropped nearly 23 seconds in his 200 IM, nearly missing his 3rd 11-12 KY State Cut.

Overall we did a Great Job AGP! We still have to put in the work and improve in some areas but it's a great first meet. AGP coaches are super proud of all the swimmers. Everyone brought energy, focus, and excitement to the Fishers meet as you cheered each other on. Keep up the hard work as our BEST is the Standard in AGP! #ALL-IN Go Team Triton!
Gold:
My first meet with Gold and I think they did astounding! Not only was there a ton of best times and state cuts, but their attitude ad energy was so positive. I had such a fun time and I hope the kids did as well! We had ZERO missed races! I’m so proud of the kids for paying attention and always asking if they should go line up behind the times. We have to continue to work on the little details, such as doing better underwaters, not breathing off the walls, and not being scared to go ALL OUT in every event.
