When these Meade Mustangs aren't in school they're turning up the heat in the pool, hi I'm, Wiley Baker and welcome to another edition of athletes in action at the North arundel Aquatic Center, let's go splashing in with the Mustangs swim team and head coach, Karen biz neck.

A

The Meade Mustangs swimmers have put in the time and effort and are now seeing rewards furlongs in length in the pool. I. Think.

B

It's really an honor to be a captain and like be a leader for this team, it's really nice to see how much our team has growing throughout the years. It's.

C

A great on coaches, both coaches, they're, great coaches too, and them it's like well I- need help with anything. Like my stroke, I do butterfly and freestyle, and it's like when I need help with my butterfly. She can only be like all right, I'll watch you go down and back and we'll see what we need. A critique and she said, tell me once and then it'll be fixed being.

A

In a mixed, gender sport is unique, but the competitiveness remains intense, yet fun. It's.

D

Interesting did they get to practice together so they're in the same Lane, and so they really get to feed off of each other in the pool, regardless of what lane there and they are really competitive with each other and use each other to practice on them. We.

E

Are teammates we coordinate with each other? We we give each other positive attitude towards each other, and then we go before we all.

B

Are is very supportive, each other really nice swim team that we have any.

C

Thing I like about it, the most is that we have fun and all that stuff is like win or lose I just tell them. We gotta have fun out there. You know have a good time and that's what sports are about to me. Swimming.

A

Is an extraordinary sport when it comes to stamina, but the Mustang swim team is up to the task stretching.

C

Is key for me, it's like before I swim apart! Do any workout I'd stretch today before I.

E

Swim: I try to eat coordinated, drink, a lot of water, the.

D

Endurance is really important for this sport. We have two days a week of pool time and we really have to utilize every minute of the pool time that we do have to really get them in shape for this season. We do a lot of running and conditioning and ab exercises, and things like that I usually have.

B

A very healthy diet I want to be nutritionist, so I'm really into like all the health stuff, but usually like night before I kind of get more carbs into my diet and then I'm ready for like this. For me, it helps a lot having that mede.

A

Swimmers know they must have high horsepower in their studies, as well as in their meats. So.

B

We'll have like homeroom or at like after school thing are, where they have to work on their grades in order to swim in this one. So just trying to push them, tell them like allegory and some balance schoolwork and the practice and.

D

Everything we have a lot of really good students and I think, most importantly, is really learning that time management skill. You know you have to give your all to the sport, but as well keeping up those grades, it's really important as well. We.

C

Focus on your grades, you get all your grades done all your homework out. The way you focus more on swimming need.

A

Mustang swim fans know this squad has some giddyup in the water we.

E

Try to get everyone to join as much as possible and it turns out to be a fun activity morning. Just a sport. It's.

B

Really nice to have all these parents and, like even friends, come out to support us. It really helps the team. A lot I think the cheering and everything gets us really going. A pumped. It's.

C

Crazy to see how many people show up and all that stuff and it's just home, it's really good. The.

D

Kids on the team have fun they really enjoy being around each other and so I think it's kind of it's exciting to.

A
