Jenkins put the aqua Tigers through their paces — pre-season weight room workouts, 6 a.m. sessions in the pool followed by two-hour practices later in the day, and three-hour practices on Friday and Saturday. The SGC swimmers worked as hard as any team in the state. The kids seemed to understand what Jenkins and his assistant, Emily Horne, were trying to accomplish. They bought into their plan and followed their coaches’ instructions to the letter. “They raised their practice level from what they were used to in high school and experienced immediate success,” states Jenkins.
