Swim Recap: Jingle Jam

The Tallulah Falls swim teams competed Friday in the Jingle Jam at Habersham. The varsity girls placed first out of 15 teams, while the Indians were second and both MS teams second as well.

"It was a long evening of being at the pool eight hours after a full school day," says coach Tamara Griffis. "However, we still saw lots of personal bests for both middle and high school teams! I can’t be more proud of the resilience this team showed."
