One of the teams given less of a spotlight at our school is the Tempe Prep swim team. They don’t just go for a relaxing morning swim; they train rigorously as early as 5 in the morning.

Their ultimate goal is to train to be among the top 32 swimmers that can enter state. Along the way they face rivals, their two biggest being Canyon State Academy and Phoenix Country Day School.

These also make for exciting swim meets for the team as well as the spectators. Their meet schedule can be found on the Tempe Prep Web site. So if you have a free afternoon it’s like watching any sport: All you can do is watch and hope things go swimmingly.
