This success is undoubtedly a result of their hard work, discipline, and the expert guidance provided by their coach, Coach Garry Domingo. His deep understanding of each swimmer’s abilities allowed him to strategically position them in events where they could shine the brightest. This approach not only maximized the team’s strengths but also fostered a sense of unity and camaraderie among the athletes.

Indeed, their seventh consecutive WNCAA Juniors Championship is not just a testament to their swimming prowess but also a testament that success is not only measured by numbers but by the strength that comes from synergy and mutual support.

Animo Lasallian Leaders!
