The Air Force women’s swimming team welcomed 10 members of the Class of 2018, as announced by head women’s swimming coach Casey Converse. The 10 freshmen were in-processed on June 26 and are currently in Basic Cadet Training.
“This class brings a high level of national level swimming experience to our team,” Converse said. “We expect them to make an immediate impact on our team at dual meets, the Mountain West Conference, and in the NCAA. We were impressed by their enthusiasm for the Air Force Academy and our team. Our team culture is extremely important to us and we feel these young women will add to our team both in and out of the pool. We anticipate a 2015 squad that can take the momentum built by last year’s team and continue to move Air Force women’s swimming and diving forward in the Mountain West.”
