Just like football and volleyball, the high school swimming season is coming to an end.

The State swimming championship will be held Wednesday for preliminaries and Thursday for finals.

The St. Charles Catholic swim team will be traveling to Sulphur to compete this year because many of the Comets’ best swimmers have qualified, several in more than one event.

SCC’s Meredyth Buisson qualified in the 100-yard breaststroke.

Bailey Bourgeois is state eligible for the 200-yard individual medley.

State rules say only four swimmers from each school can participate in each category and only one four-person relay team can compete in each relay.

Not every St. Charles Catholic swimmer will be allowed to compete in every category in which they qualified for spacing reasons.

“It is always better to have too many swimmers qualified than to not have enough,” St. Charles catholic swim coach Michelle Jensen said.

The Comets also had 15 swimmers earn  All District honors in October.

Last year, the SCC boys’ team placed fourth at the LHSAA Championship Swim Meet Division 3 and the girls’ team placed seventh.
