Do you like to swim? Or do you absolutely love the smell of chlorine? Vallivue has its very own swim team! These four members travel around the valley with Ridgevue and Middleton High School to compete against other swim teams in the battles of the water. While swimming is considered a club sport, these students represent VHS.

Senior Kayden White is an excellent swimmer on the team competing in the backstroke and breaststroke. Her goal is to qualify for state this year. She loves swimming, and she enjoys the fact that it’s a very active sport.

Sophomore Casen Hale joined the swim team after taking several lessons, and he wanted to take it to the next level. Looking to the future, Hale intends to complete his 50 freestyle in under 30 seconds. Along with the 50 free, he competes in the 50 fly, 200 free relay and the 200 medley relay.

Freshman Megan Kester was in the club before high school and decided to continue swimming on our team. She swims the 100 freestyle and the 100 fly. Kester’s goal this year is to qualify for districts and state.

Junior Sam Stroops considers swimming “the best sport,” and that is why he joined the team. Right now, Stroops competes in the 50 yard freestyle, medley, 100 legs and the 100 freestyle. His goal for this session is to be under 25 seconds for his 50 yard freestyle.
