Ready, set, swim! The Trojan girls swim team is ready to take the plunge on Saturday, Nov. 1, at the Regional Girls Swim Meet in Johnston, Iowa. Eleven Atlantic girls are competing.

The meet starts at 11:30 a.m. and will last around two and a half to three hours, depending on how the meet is going. The girls competing will take off from the Atlantic High School at 9 a.m., and will arrive at 10:30 a.m. to start warming up.

Head coach Dean Junker said this is their “first ever” big regional meet as a team. This meet is a state-qualifying meet. “I hope they improve and get experience to do better later on,” said Junker.
