Lucy Spielman of the Sedona Race Pace Club works on her form during a practice last summer. Spielman was one of many Race Pace swimmers to finish strong at the Junior Olympics. She finished second in the 400 meter individual medley and later swam two time trials in an attempt to break the state record. After being disqualified for an illegal turn in the first, she legally broke the state mark, touching in at 5:32.06. Photo by David Jolkovski/Larson Newspapers
Swimmers from the Sedona Race Pace Swim Club were in the water over the weekend, taking part in the Junior Olympics in Anthem, at the Anthem Community Pool. The experience brought some unique challenges, but also positive results.

As it’s been for so many people, the last year has been a challenge for the Sedona Race Pace Swim Club. While the Race Pace team has been able to stay open with some modifications, their schedule has been limited by the fact that, due to COVID-19 restrictions, there have been few opportunities for normal meets. They have, however, taken advantage of the chances they’ve had.
