Drew was able to cut time again in his 500. Ending his season with a new PR!

The entire season was a resounding success, marked by numerous personal bests and big anticipation for next year's season. Coach Zinn and I couldn't be prouder of the spectacular way the season concluded for the team. Thank for following along this season. Please continue to promote this great sport of swimming!

It was a great day for the Falcons at our district swim meet in Dubuque. We had massive time cuts throughout the meet! We had them in the 50, 100, 200, and 500 free! We had some in the 100 breast and 100 back. We also had them in the 200 and 400 relay!! It was some great racing by everyone. Be on the lookout for next year. We might have some more exciting news coming soon!👀

Another great hot protein meal post workout on the coldest day in years! Can’t beat Chik-Fil-A sandwiches, plenty of sides, and protein drinks w/snacks thanks to The Diekema and Quinn family! Big Pig award goes to Jaydon having eaten three sandwiches and check out how smooth a team captain looks with his beef stick! One more day before Taper Week begins and thanks so much everyone for the best HellWeek we’ve ever had! Tomorrow the boys get to sign the wall!

We would like to thank Blue Grass Elementary for making it to our meet last night. They brought energy to the meet and even got to get in the pool afterwards to swim with the team!

Sadly, our season is winding down. JV Invite will be next Saturday and then some of our squad will be competing at districts with the chance to make it to state!

Day 3 of HellWeek and a new tradition of burgers and protein Mac & Cheese has been born thanks to the Mead family. After their last 2-A-Day workout of the week the boys powered up for their meet tomorrow Cowboy Jaxson wins the Big Pig Award for his two double decker burgers with a gallon of Mac/Cheese and Jaydon created a new food group with his Mac/Cheese Burger. 2 more days of HellWeek and the boys are kickin’ it! Please share these messages out as we are always in a constant state of recruiting…”if you feed them, they will come” is a true statement for teenage boys.

As we approach the conclusion of 2025, we would like to express our gratitude to everyone who played a role in our year's successes for both the boys and girls. Notably, we achieved significant milestones, including advancing to state, setting new personal records, and accumulating a substantial number of yards. We anticipate continuing this momentum into 2026.

A big thank you also to the assistant coaches, Coach Zinn and Coach Denney; without them, many of the things we have accomplished this year would not be possible.

It's crazy to think the boys' season is entering its final month already, and today they completed the bullseye 100 workout, which was themed around '25-'26. As a reward for finishing the workout, they got to eat 100 “bullseye” sandwiches.
