Inaugural Varsity Swim Season Begins
For the first time in school history, PJP Varsity swimmers suited up for tryouts at the Spring Valley YMCA. The turn out on both the boys and girls side of the team is higher than originally anticipated, giving PJP close to a full (albeit smaller) varsity squad on both the boys and girls side. The athletic department hopes this indicates what could be rapid growth for the team in years to come. The inaugural regular season schedule matches PJP up with many Philadelphia Catholic League schools. Similar to a track and field or cross country schedule, meets will be held once a week during the month of January. Swimmers will get a chance to compete at local Collegiate facilities including Saint Joseph's University, Temple University, and Widener. 1st year Head Coach Emily Thomas is looking forward to building a program at PJP, and she herself was on a budding team during her college years at Cazenovia College (Cazenovia, NY). This unique experience of working with a developing teams makes her an excellent fit for the Panthers. The team will open the season against Lansdale Catholic on December 28th at the Lansdale Family Area YMCA.
