Plymouth girls swim to win

PLYMOUTH – The Plymouth Girls Swimming team started their season Saturday with a win against Oregon Davis. Plymouth took 1st place in all but one event on the day, and many swimmers did well in their first competition for the season. With 34 girls on the roster, the Pilgrims look to build the program through energetic new talent and key veteran swimmers. 

Next week, the Pilgrims begin a road stint facing Rochester on Tuesday, and Bremen on Thursday. Unfortunately due to Covid-19 restrictions, fans will not be permitted at these away meets. Coverage of Tuesday’s event can be watched at www.ihsaatv.org/RochesterTV/
