Swimming and diving practices occur for up to three hours. It is evident that the swim and dive team put all of their effort into practice. “I always have the chance to try new, crazy dives that I have never attempted before.

We were going around … house to house trying to get to people who had been affected by the flood, out of the flood. Once the water receded, then we switched to pumping  out basements. We pretty much just set up teams going house to house trying to get to get the water out of their basements, and we did that for the rest of the week. It was a flash flood, so the water came up, flooded, and then dropped again. So once everyone was safe, we had to switch to getting them back to together again. We had to set up a shelter.

Once the basements were done, it switched to some workers coming in and cleaning up all the debris.”
