Holiday Meet Results
We hosted the Titans Holiday Meet at the Town of Tonawanda Aquatic and Fitness Center Tuesday and Wednesday December 28th & 29th 2021. This was the last swimming opportunity in 2021 and proved to be a great opportunity to see our progress and focus on the things to improve moving ahead! We had a relatively small meet with only 6 teams in attendance, but the Titans came in force with 110 of the 179 athletes in attendance. Swimmers from ALL Levels Stroke Development through Level 8 did fantastic! Thanks to all who helped make this such a great meet!
It was such a joy seeing so many swimmers at our recent Holiday Meet. Stroke Development had 3 swimmers and five swims total. Congratulations Camden Costa, Jonathan Costa and Jacob Olson for all swimming in your first meet! Your hard work is paying off!

We have been increasing the demands at practice and even though we had several days off due to holidays the practices we have had have been impressive.
