The Pagosa Lakes Porpoises Swim Team held a mock meet on Saturday, April 11, at the Pagosa Lakes Property Owners Association Recreation Center.
This has been an exciting year for the Porpoises, as the team has doubled in size from last season and now includes 53 swimmers.
The purpose of the mock meet was to help prepare athletes for their first official competition in Durango on April 18 and 19.
The team is led by first‑year head coach Matt Nobles, who brings a special connection to the program. Nobles swam for the Porpoises from ages 7 to 15, and his passion for the sport — and for this team — shows in the enthusiastic, supportive culture he’s building.
This season brings a great mix of returning athletes and new faces, all contributing to a fun and motivated team environment. We’re looking forward to a successful and memorable season.
