Cheshire is pretty good... Greenwich would demolish them if they raced in a dual meet, though :[. Oh well, the coaches don't like each other, so they don't race! So Cheshire gets to hang onto that record.

Cheshire Rams..... nuff said

[sailrgirl]

you are only the best if you beat the best- beating teams with no pool or little community interest is a joke- keep on fooling yourself cheshire! while you are good- keep swimming wihtout community support and lets see how you do....

[happygoluck14]

yes cheshire asks anyone to swim them. they are always prepared for a challenge. they are the best no doubt

i like there swimsuits

[grate7]

its a good record no doubt about that......but no state titles or state open titles the last couple of years while they "locked up" the best dual meet record in the nation...?  wtf?

[lbm4n]

i was actually at that meet

[lbm4n]

actually i know this team, i go to that school and they do ask other teams with great records to race, the other team in connecticut that could be close wont race them

Actually, your very wrong. Cheshire swimming asks teams from out of conference and out of state to swim them but the other teams refuse. they have asked greenwhich to swim a duel meet against them this season multiple times and the coach didnt want to. You obvioulsy dont know cheshire swimming because they aren't scared of anyone and will swim against anyone. Other teams are scred of them. Basically, you have it backwards.

Obviously, the team has some talent, but they are NOT the best. The real secret to their wins is the fact that they refuse to race teams that they think might beat them. To be the best you have to beat the best.
