What. A. Day. 💜💛

CVAC showed up, raced with heart, and brought home the WCSA Long Course Championship Trophy! 🏆🇺🇸

Our swimmers came ready to compete from the very first event to the last. The results speak for themselves with countless personal bests and an incredible number of 1st 🥇, 2nd 🥈, and 3rd 🥉 place finishes. But even more impressive was the teamwork, determination, and support these athletes showed one another all weekend long.

Today was especially bittersweet as we watched two incredible seniors swim their final races wearing a CVAC cap.

💜 Daniel Martin – Congratulations as you head to the United States Navy.

💛 Kyra Westerfield – Congratulations as you begin your next chapter at Midway University.

Daniel and Kyra, once a CVAC swimmer, always a CVAC swimmer. We are so proud of you both, and you’ll always have a lane waiting for you at home.

To every swimmer and family—thank you for making this championship one to remember.

Champions. Together. 🏆💜💛🏅
