Candy Cane Invite :

This weekend, 35 Sawtooth swimmers headed to the West Y for the annual Candy Cane Invite, and they absolutely crushed it. The meet was packed with fast swims, big smiles, and tons of personal victories.

Over two days, our team swam in 146 individual events—and they didn’t just show up, they showed off. We had 80 new best times and 23 event winners. That’s a whole lot of hard work paying off.

What a way to wrap up the 2025 calendar year. Huge congratulations to every Sawtooth swimmer who raced, cheered, and made this meet such an awesome finish to the year.
