It’s that time of year again, the temperature grows colder and the leaves are falling from the trees. So grab your swimsuit; it’s varsity swim season. Starting in October the Cornell swim team started their pre-season practices three days a week. There are currently eight people on the team from both Cornell and OLSH, and they are anticipating more people to join in the weeks to come. Starting the week of October 31,  there will be practice five days a week. Their first meet will be a scrimmage against Steel Valley on November 29, 2016. The team is also welcoming a new coach this year, Ms. Chadel Beck. With a lot of hard work and determination, it’s sure to be a successful year.
