“The theme for this season chosen by our senior captains was, “Are tangerines just oranges that didn’t want it enough?” That theme played out as each swimmer strived to become the best they could be, and in the process, the team built strong roots for growth and TEAM unity. It is far more important to become a family than any time on the clock, or any score in a meet. The team works together, supports one another. Only then can we truly reach our potential in the pool. With strong leadership from our seniors and captains, the team developed unified character and resolve. By the end of the season, York Suburban Swimming was on the same page and ready for the post-season. There were massive time drops from each swimmer, and the memories of the season will hopefully last a lifetime. We are proud to represent York Suburban, one another, and go above and beyond each and every day. WE ARE…YS!!!” — Coach Brennan
