Swimmer Alexandra Switalski says the team was invited to participate in another league s championship meet. We were unable to because we have not been given the go-ahead from Buffalo Public Schools to swim.
The team typically swims at City Honors. The pandemic has stopped that. It’s part of the high school experience, being on a varsity sport and it’s just a lot of fun and it’s a great way to make friends, Switalski said. It really creates a sense of community.
