THE ROUNDUP
Brophy swimming is undefeated thus far this season, having competed in six dual meets and four invitational meets which they all won by a large margin.
Six-year Brophy swim coach Mr. Pat O’Neill coaches 48 students on the swim and dive team.
“We do have three of four Stars of the team but the fact that we are able to have the success we have is because every single one of these kids put in a tremendous amount of time and effort into swimming and diving, and we are talking thousands of hours.” Mr. O’Neill said.
