Being a Buhach Colony swimmer isn’t as intimidating as someone would think. When someone thinks of swimming, most would assume it’s doing excessive rounds of laps, and flips into a pool. Even though some of these are included into the sport, it’s not as hard as most make it out to be. A swimmer does have it's hard moments but benefits tag along with it.
When it comes to swimming, there are a lot of things the swimmers from the BC team would suggest about it. Senior varsity Eddora Bustos says, “I like swim because it keeps me motivated to do good in school and I enjoy being in the water.” Bustos has been swimming for 3 years. Her dedication is strong, and according to sophomore JV Samanda Beeman, “Dedication and willingness to actually work” is a big part of swimming.
Even if dedication may seem excessive to others, that’s not all there is to it. Junior varsity Taylor Ramirez says, “It keeps you in shape. You get a good tan, meets are fun and you can meet new people.” The swimmers have their own collective ideas about swimming and while attending the meets and the games, the excitement of family and supporting friends are very active.
Bustos, Beeman, and Ramirez have dedicated their lives to swimming and do it very well. While most would conclude that swimming seems to difficult due to the hard work and having to stay in shape, it’s no difference from any other sport which you would have to keep in shape for. Just as any other sport, it also allows you to meet new people and have new experiences. All that is needed is a sense of desire to keep attending the sport anyone would most be interested in.
Head coach Mark Tanzillo agrees that swimming co-sides with dedication, "You got to be fast and the only way to get fast is to work hard." Because of Tanzillo's good coaching alongside with Justin Tanzillo, the BC swim team has broken a record for the 200 medley relay with the time stamp of 2:02.86. Junior Gwynne McBride, freshman Anne McBride, junior Emma Seifert and sophomore Pamela Sorona were the team who broke the new time record!
