2010 Big West Championships Day 1

On the first day of the 2010 Big West Championships, the Gaucho men and women started off with winning both the men's and women's 200-yard medley relay. We had a strong showing in the 1000-yard freestyle. Our breaststroker, senior Travis Jepson, sneaked into give the Gauchos three points which we needed from him. The battle of the meet will be getting enough points to win not necessary overcoming the diving points which we don't have. We are expecting to have swims that will qualify for the NCAA championships so stay tuned.

2009-2010 UCSB Men's and Women's Swim Team

After a morning practice, the Gaucho swim team gathered at Goleta Beach which is right next to campus for a team picture. The campus is in the background. This is what paradise looks like when the snow is hitting almost every state in America.

Gauchos Swimming in Northern California

Gauchos swam against two of the Big West schools: UC Davis and UOP, in northern California.

Any of them should be shooting hoops instead of swimming in the pool???
