The Jerome Swimmers worked very hard during winter break training.  However, they also had a ton of fun! Check out the videos for each team's "carol-off" performance. Both teams spent extra time selecting a carol and choreographing a dance!  Great work all swimmers!  Congrats to Team Zoe who was awarded the win. Please note we believe there is a "focus" issue on the Team Luke Video.  Our apologies as this was a "one-take" opportunity,
