Tim Freeman Set Big West Conference Record

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.

Class of 2010 Finishing up Dual Meets

The dual meet against University of the Pacific completed the 2009-2010 dual meet season for the Gauchos. Men were 5-2 and women 7-2 in the dual meet season record. The last event of the dual meet, the seniors put a relay together for a win against underclassmen. Did they win? The Gauchos are gearing up for the Big West Championships in February and the NCAA Championships in March to switch the focus on swimming fast from racing fast. Stay tuned!

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???

Caitlin Walsh Coming to Santa Barbara from Australia

Caitlin trained with the UCSB swim team during the 2008-2009 school year when she attended UCSB as an exchange student. Although she never competed for the Gauchos, she brought the Aussie spice into the UCSB swim team and helped the team succeed last season. She is definitely missed and we love having her Stevie (stuffed animal in the team room) with us to remember the "good" times.
