The Bulldogs used the meet on Thursday to build experience for the season ahead as they look to get confidence for the newer swimmers on the team. "We have a lot of new swimmers getting race experience and that's exactly what they need to gain confidence," said Peden. "They're working hard at practice and putting in the work they need to get better. We're going to have one day off before heading to the Oconee Invite." Boiling Springs will next hit the pool on Saturday when they compete in the Oconee Invite at the Foothills Area YMCA in Seneca, SC with a start time of 10:00 AM. Comments are closed.
