Head Coach of 91原创 Olympians Swim Club commented on his swimmers, 鈥淚t鈥檚 always a challenge for swimmers to perform in heats and finals meets as they need to be prepared to swim hard to make the finals and then swim better in the evening. My team has once again shown me that they are capable of producing great swims under pressure as most of them made finals. I am very pleased with our results.鈥
