TUHS swimmer, Jake Johnson has been swimming since 4th grade. The most exciting part about this season, according to Jake, is,“The fact that we have a new coaching staff is definitely something new and exciting. Coaching a team of 20+ kids isn’t easy–especially in a strenuous sport like swim. I’m looking forward to seeing how we do this season against some of our rivals.”

“Getting out of the pool after a race and seeing that you shattered one of your personal records is a feeling like no other. That’s definitely the highlight of every season for me.” Since the start of high school swim, Johnson has continued to improve: ”I’ve always been a freestyle swimmer, but high school swim changed that. I was thrown into events that I was unfamiliar with right off the bat. It’s made me comfortable with being uncomfortable.”

Johnson seems optimistic about the remainder of the 2020 season. ”I think we’ll have a few people go off to valley. The qualification times are pretty tough this year, but definitely not impossible. It’s just a matter of working for it.”
