Joel Dubois had an outstanding performance in his first ever 200 yard freestyle event, which qualified him for NM State Swimming Championships. Wyley Pedroncelli contributed to the Outlaw’s success by earning a AA time standard in the 50 yardfreestyle.Although relatively new to competitive swimming, and swimming the events for the very first time, the Outlaw 6 and under age group had great swims with Hannah Chen placing 2^nd in the 50 free, Sydney Clark placing 4^th, and Ryley Clark placing 5^th. Rilyn Garcia finished off the meet by placing 2^nd in the 100 yard freestyle. The Aggie Outlaws look forward to continue their progress throughout the rest of the season.

Outlaw Masters Begins

bgabriel — Mon, 10 Sep 2012 19:00:22 +0000

Outlaw Masters began on August 24, 2012 in order to give parents the opportunity to get in the water and exercise while their children participated in swim practices offered by the group’s counterpart, Aggie Outlaws. If you are unfamiliar with master swimming groups, their primary function is to provide instruction and work outs to any adult seeking to reap the benefits of swimming. Although jumping into the pool and sharing a lane with a few other swimmers could often times be intimidating, rest assured that no matter who you are and what kind of experience you possess, Outlaw Masters offers swim instruction to the most novice swimmer, and physically intensive workouts for the ex-competitive swimmer. So you have limited abilities in the water? No swimming experience whatsoever? Our master coaches will make you feel comfortable as you learn new skills and increase your fitness in a group setting. If you used to swim in high school, college, or are a triathlete looking to drop some time in the swimming leg, Outlaw Masters is also the place for you. Most importantly, exercise, stay healthy, and make some new friends as you reach your goals, whatever they may be.
