As the end of the winter term approaches, so does the end of winter sports seasons, which means that many swimmers will have to say goodbye to their senior friends as they look toward their futures. The mix of excitement and sadness was echoed by Zuzana Havl\u00ed\u010dkov\u00e1 \u201826, who reflected on the 2025-2026 season, saying \u201csimilarly to the previous year, swim season was very fun. Even though many swimmers graduated last year, many new joined and it was great to be surrounded by people who want to swim and improve every day. I have quite mixed feelings about senior night though. On one side, I am looking forward to it, as I\u2019m sure we are going to have a great time. On the other though, I know that it\u2019s going to be a bit sad as well to have a last home meet here at Sem.\u201d This was Zuzana\u2019s second year doing swimming at Wyoming Seminary. Aidan Benetos \u201826 shared parallel sentiments, emphasizing the strong bonds that the team formed and the emotions surrounding the upcoming senior night: \u201cthis year\u2019s swim season has been incredible. I am so proud of all the hard work that everyone has been putting in so far. We were able to achieve amazing things because of how tenacious everyone is and because we all uplift each other. I feel like we were all able to become very close with one another this season, and honestly, I\u2019m sad about senior night coming soon, and saying goodbye to this team and my high school swim career. That being said, I’m also very excited to celebrate all of the work that my fellow seniors and I have done over the years.\u201d Aidan began swimming in his sophomore year and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Abby Ryu \u201826, who participated in swimming for her entire high school path, had a similar experience to Aidan and Zuzana, stating \u201cmy experience this season has been definitely different, but in a good way. It\u2019s less competitive but still really fun and the team is close. As senior night as well as districts approach, I\u2019m a little sad, but mainly excited to end my high school swim career on a high note!\u201d
