Marin Swim League Champs – July 8, 2017:

On July 8th at IVC, the Marin Swim League participated in the culmination of the 2017 season with the Championship Swim Meet, which was hosted by the Marinwood Waterdevils. Swimmers from all 10 teams participated in this season ending meet, and team camaraderie was evident from the start with boisterous team cheers and enthusiastic clapping at the end of lanes.

Over 1100 swimmers competed in the sweltering heat, yet the weather did not deter our swimmers from having a fantastic showing of amazing swims. The Novato Riptide swimmers posted the highest percentage of personal best swims, and the Terra Linda Orcas and Sleepy Hollow Sea Lions each had 10 swimmers that earned high point trophies. The Terra Linda Orcas had an undefeated dual meet season, but the depth of the Sleepy Hollow Sea Lions ruled the pool on Saturday.

Led by longtime coach Mark Anderson, the Sleepy Hollow Sea Lions, placed first in the meet, and they are once again Marin Swim League Champions.
