By The Numbers

Since swimming is a numbers oriented sport, here is a look at some key stats from the 2008-09 R-MC swimming season:

113 - Lifetime best swims (pretty awesome)
11 - Dual meet wins - sets a single season record for R-MC Swimming
8 - All-ODAC swimmers on our team
8 - Pool record holders on our roster
7 - New Estes Aquatic Center pool records (in 6 different events)
6 - New school records (in 5 different events)
6 - School record holders on our roster
4 - ODAC Swimmers of the Week
1 - ODAC Scholar Athlete of the Year - Shafer Busch

The numbers don't lie. 8 out of 18 swimmers on our team own an Estes Aquatic Center pool record and were named to either the ALL-ODAC 1st or 2nd team, and 6 out of 18 have a school record. In other words, if you are an R-MC swimmer, there is a 44.44% chance that you have a pool record and/or were named to the ALL-ODAC squad, and a 33.33% chance that you own a school record. Those are pretty good odds.
