Thirty-four of our swimmers represented Dad’s Club at this years’ Southern Senior Championships. The meet was held at the CISD Natatorium in Shanendoah on November 30^th-December 3^rd. The meet gave our swimmers the opportunity to compete against swimmers from many different areas. Teams ranged from the Gulf, South Texas, and North Texas LSC’s and from Colorado, Arizona, and California. We even had a team from Canada make the trip.
