Penn Manor capped off its regular season with a sweep over McCaskey in a Lancaster- Lebanon League Section One swimming meet Tuesday at Millersville.

Both the Lancaster-Lebanon League Section One swimming titles were clinched within minutes of each other, in the last events of the Hempfield at Manheim Township match on Monday night.

There are short-term, medium-term and long-term goals for many swimmers.

Manheim Township swept a Lancaster-Lebanon League swim meet over Warwick, winning 109-55 in boys and 115-55 in girls at the Lititz Rec Center on Tuesday night.

Elizabethtown swept a Lancaster-Lebanon League Section Two swim meet at the Lampeter-Strasburg YMCA on Monday afternoon, beating Lampeter-Strasburg 126-43 in boys and 98-72 in girls.

Even competitive swimmers spend more time on land than in water, so dryland training is an important aspect of any competitor’s development.

Ephrata continued its strong swimming campaign in Lancaster-Lebanon League Section Two on Thursday afternoon by sweeping Conestoga Valley, 109-59 in boys meet and 121-26 in girls.

LEBANON — Not every challenge a swimmer faces comes from the athletes in the other lanes, nor from the desire to post a new best time.

There is an almost universal feeling of sluggishness in the mid-afternoon. In the office, at home, on the road, wherever, people tend to feel drained in the middle of the day.
