Southwest Age Group Regionals

KSC represented Hawaii well on the mainland last week at the Southwest Age Group Regionals held in Clovis,

California. The weather had its ups and downs but it didn’t stop our swimmers from pushing themselves

to greater heights. KSC finished 9th overall out over 70 teams.

We would like to give a big congratulations to Jia Kim on her performance at the meet and for gaining a new
