The Heritage Swim Team has chosen its four captains, and one of them is Kaitlyn Hill, a senior. Team captains are chosen by the coaches. The coaches get together and narrow down the 100+ students that are swimming to 4 and those become our captains. These captains are only chosen because they fit under these categories: a senior or junior, demonstrate leadership skills during practice and help their teammates.

Hill has been swimming for 14 years and started swimming when she was 4.

 “Being a captain gives me responsibility such as representing our school, being a motivator, encouragement for everyone, being an aid to anyone who needs help with something, and making sure everything is running smoothly,” said Hill.

  Naturally when you find out about something big you are usually excited.   

  ”I am beyond ecstatic to serve as captain this year for for swim at heritage,”explained Hill.

  When you are captain of a team you are asked to do certain things and some can be fun and others won’t always be fun.

 “I look forward to bonding with our whole team and seeing everyone improve with new personal bests every meet as well as creating fun memories and making the best of my last season as a swimmer,”described Hill.

  Starting a new season and having new captains can be a little confusing and strange for everyone on the team.

 Jiang is ready to help Hill with anything and be able to say that Hill was one of her swim captains her sophomore year of swim.

  The season has just started and already holds a lot of promise and is now in hands of four new captains.
