She also has posted a 10th place finish in the 1000 freyleest. Hannah Schultz earned several best times at the M.I.T meet with highlights including a 500 freestyle time of 5:48.19 and a 200 freestyle time of 2:07.75. Both swimmers will be representing North Shore Swim Club, Pingree School, and Swampscott High School poolside at Massachusetts High School Sectionals and State Meets in February.
As well as great High School swimmers, North Shore also has a great age group and junior program that help bridge the levels from the town recreational program to the high school programs. These programs take the time to teach young children all four strokes and teach them the correct technique in starts and turns.
