Alumni Swim Meet 2012

Former PA swimmers returned to campus to participate in a 500 Medley Relay in celebration of 100 years of Andover swimming and diving. The first meet was held on Feb 24, 1912 against Harvard. In the lane closest to the camera is the team made up of alums from the odd years and coached by Loring Strudwick, boys' coach, 1984-2001. In the far lane is the Even Team coached by Chuck Willand '70, boy's coach, 1976-1984. The race was remarkably even, but the Odd Team ultimately claimed the victory.
