Coaches for the Water Sharks include Kathy Dolan for 10 and under, Lyndsay Adrian for 11 and up, and head coach is Nivia Patterson. The Water Sharks have three seniors on the team including Ben Berhow, Allison Vogel, and TJ Durst. Thursday night the team gathered at the YMCA for a sendoff dinner for all of the participants.
The boys will swim today and girls are set for tomorrow in Marshalltown.
