Gorham’s Varsity Swim Team had quite a season. This year’s program consisted of 24 incredible swimmers: both leaders in the pool and off the pool deck. Caps off to the graduating senior captains, Abby Rosingana, Kate Pelletier, and Kyle Brown.

Both teams set their program goals early and worked diligently to strive towards and achieve their objectives during each practice and dual meet. These highly focused athletes carried through all season long, smashing individual and team records.
