After a long season’s worth of practice under Coaches Pierce and Timmons, DC swimmers performed very well. On April 20-21 the DC swim team went to championships against Vista Del Lago, Rio Americano, Christian Brothers, and El Camino. Rio Americano High School had to host this event at Vista Del Lago’s pool because Rio’s pool had technical difficulties.
