The 2021-22 Ada varsity swim team has a good chance to advance a few individuals and a relay team to the state meet this winter.

Former Ohio Northern University swimmers Katey Stuart and Marisa Barton will coach the Ada swim program this season. Ada native Stuart is back for her second season at the helm. Stuart has returned from pharmacy rotations out of state for most of November.

The team is practicing at the ONU natatorium after using the Kenton YMCA last season due to COVID restrictions. Assistant coach Barton ran practices during November.

A total of 13 swimmers, including nine girls and four boys, comprise the team roster.
