AC-Central has one student on the swim team. After interviewing Sabrina R on this years team compared to last years and her performance, these were her answers: 

AC: What did you do to prepare for this year’s season?

Sabrina: Our team started conditioning in August and had practice every day.

AC: How did you do last year and do you think you've gotten better?

Sabrina: I have gotten faster since last year. I practiced swimming during the summer so I would be faster during the swim season.

  

AC: What are a few of your highlights? 

Sabrina: I swam the 200 meter freestyle in 3 minutes and 2 seconds (I didn't finish last). I was very proud of that because I had never swum the 200 before. 

AC: What drew you to join the swim team?

Sabrina: My aunt Allyson convinced me to join the swim team my sophomore year.

AC: What do you think your toughest meet is going to be?

Sabrina: Most of our meets are pretty tough. We don’t win very often, but we try our best and have fun. 

AC: How do you think you will perform this season?

Sabrina: I know I will always try my best. When I get tired in a race I listen for my team cheering me on and that encourages me to finish the race strong.
