The meet featured the fastest swimmers in the state, according to head coach Mary Moorer. But that didn’t faze the […]
Navarre’s swim team is competing in the District 1-4A swim meet in Jacksonville today. It was to be a change of pace from the norm for the Raiders, who typically compete at the University of West Florida. But being in a new classification and new district means a new look to its postseason. The competition […]
As this swim season for Navarre has moved along, head coach Mary Moorer has seen her team make significant strides. Moorer noted that she is happy with the progress, especially with the regular season reaching the finish line at the Santa Rosa County championship meet last Wednesday on an overcast and cool afternoon at Hunter […]
Navarre senior Harrison Dorsey has always been known on the swim team as a fun-loving, sometimes goofy, athlete who loves joking around. But he’s grown up over the last four years, becoming a leader for the Raiders, breaking school records along the way. “I would like to think I’ve matured and come into a leadership […]
Jed Teague comes out of the pool at the Washington Aquatic Center Monday night and finds something to drink. The Navarre freshman needs a breather after swimming the 500 Freestyle.

Alyssa Allen is motivated, to say the least, this swim season. She is inspired, in part, by her Navarre teammate and friend Madison Sullins. “She is a really big competitor and we keep each other in check. We push each other to succeed,” Allen said. Allen is in her third year with the team and […]

Luke Losquadro spent part of his summer at a swim camp at the University of Alabama.

Madison Sullins moves through the water quickly during a relay event at the opening meet of Navarre’s swim season Wednesday afternoon.

Harrison Dorsey made it to state last season for the first time in his career, competing in the 100-yard Backstroke.

Alyssa Allen is […]
