VIDEO: Training a New Generation of Swimmers

Simley High School boys and girls varsity swim team members worked with younger students across the district on Tuesday to build swimming skills.

Over 100 fifth- and sixth-graders from schools across Inver Grove Heights packed the Veterans Memorial Community Center pool on Tuesday as part of a swimming and diving event hosted by the Spartans swim teams.

Simley High School boys and girls varsity swim team members worked with younger students to build swimming skills — including the back stroke, front crawl and shallow and deep diving.

The three-day activity runs through Thursday, when the swimmers compete against each other in a meet at The Grove Aquatics and Fitness Center.
