Captain's Practice!


Our lovely Senior Captains all dressed up for an intense 80's workout!


"Keep marching to keep your heart rate up"


The beginning of the obstacle course that the captain's devised for the rest of the team. It began UNDER the pier!

Captains handed out "awards" for the whole team including the coaches!

After a great day of sunshine the team is happy. Unfortunately, we only saw the sun one day!

One Sunny Day


The Pool

Picked up the girls from John's Pass. Coach's car is much faster than the trolley but a little cramped.

Picked up some of the men's team from Treasure Island... long story

A Birthday Swim in Florida

Florida Sunset

Training in Florida was great but a bit on the cold side... Here are some pictures of our week of training!

Alumnae Dinner


Deb class of '72 invited the swim team and other alums to her house for dinner last night. The team was able to eat a hot home cooked meal while listening to stories about the "old" Wells. Even our assistant class of '74 got reunited with some old friends from college.

Florida Training Trip

We have finally arrived for our training to Florida, it was a bit rough getting out of upstate NY with the lake affect snow hitting right near the airports.

Overall, there were 2 cancellations/changed flights and 3 delayed flights. But, everyone arrived safely ready to swim.

Unfortunately, the flights are not the only obstacle the swim team is facing, they are swimming through some cold weather. The high for the week is only 60! They are all pushing through the cold to get a good workout and a few of them are even sun bathing!

We are already half way through our doubles training before we return to the snow in NY and continue with doubles.

Our first meet will be at home on Wednesday, January 13th against SUNY Buffalo.
