Washington High School - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Saulnier wins MVC swim title for Wash

Sat - 25 Jan Written by Jim Ecker

CEDAR FALLS - Nick Saulnier likes to jump in the pool for a good workout before school starts in the morning, just like most swimmers, but the Cedar Rapids Washington sophomore has taken his routine to the extreme.

During the high school season, he practices with his teammates at Washington. But during the "offseason," he'll practice at the University of Iowa Aquatic Center with members of the Iowa Flyers Swim Club in the morning before returning to Washington for a full day of classes. He's done that twice a week during part of the school year, on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

He'll return to Iowa City every day during the "offseason" to practice after school, Monday through Friday, and he'll also swim at the UI facility on Saturdays and Sundays.
