The swimmers have been working on good sportsmanship during practice, so try to remind them – when you finish a race, stay in the water until EVERYONE in the heat has finished. Shake the hand of the swimmers next to you and congratulate them on their swim.  Broadway has long been known for good sportsmanship at meets, and that is something that makes us all very PROUD!

Just a reminder that pictures cannot be taken behind the start end of the pool. This is a USA Swimming rule that the VSL follows.
