Stu Hixon and FAST Invite recap

Tidal Wave swimmers and coaches may have been split across two venues in different states, but we managed to make a huge impact in both spaces.  Congratulations to Isabella Klinefelter and Kayla Wright for setting new team records!!!  Isabella broke her own 100 fly record with a time of 1:02.83! She also best a 22-year-old 200 IM with a time of 2:23.15!  Kayla made it a clean sweep of distance freestyle records in breaking the 800 free record (She already held the 400 & 1500) with a time of 9:16.72!
