Although the Big Ridge Raiders have moved up a division in the Chattanooga Area Swim League, Big Ridge Pool president and team representative Mary Jungels said she is confident the team will be able to rise to the occasion.
“We’re very close-knit, and the team has been built up with confidence,” she said. “Our staff and kids know what’s required of them, and we’ve moved our way up. I think we’re ready for the challenge.”
The team is hosting a social at the pool Wednesday, May 25 at 6 p.m. to introduce the surrounding area to the team. Food will be available, and Jungels said it will be a good opportunity for parents and kids to learn about the program.
“You don’t have to be a member of the pool if you want to be on the team or to come and be social,” she noted.
While the team is flush with younger swimmers, she said they’re especially looking for older swimmers who can join and be a mentor to the team.
