On Friday, December 6, the Stroudsburg High School co-ed swim team took on Delaware Valley High School at home. The final scores of the meet were Girls 35-59 and Boys 42 to 52.
The team has had two meets so far going 1-1 in those contests. The swim team has many new members this year and the coaches are excited to see where they take us.
“Swimming is a grueling sport so being able to have some fun helps to create a strong bond with your teammates and makes the hard work we put in on a daily basis more bearable.
