Something special about the State Swim every year is that there is a program, Unified Athletes, where swimmers with disabilities can swim and earn state medals. The unified Swimmers swim a full 50 yards and the crowd is always so loud. It's so amazing seeing hundreds of people cheering all for the same purpose of lifting others up. 

Swim team has done amazing things this year, we can’t wait to see what happens next year. The Canyon View High Swim Coaches are Kirt Brown, Melanie Alger, Richard Edwards, and Aimee Despain.
