A record setting performance and double wins by Andrei
Zaitsev, and two wins by Cage Theriot, including a stroke that’s not her
strongest, earned these younger Gators
the opening Swimmer Of The Week awards for this season.
Not only did Andrei smash his own backstroke record (see
related article), but he also won the 9-10 boys freestyle race and helped his
relay team to the win. Those
performances earned him the Boy Swimmer of the Week award.

Cage Theriot, the Girl Swimmer of the Week, swept free and
breaststroke. Cage isn’t typically a
breaststroker, but it’s a hard swim first week for 8 & unders, and Coach
Paul Makin put her in there knowing he could count on her.
How do you get to be Swimmer of the Week?
Swim Fast. Practice, and Strong Starts! Cage knows!
Congrats to both swimmers for their excellent performances.
The choices of Swimmers of the Week are purely up to the editor. Swimmers can only win it once in a season. If you have advice or a bone to pick, please
