During the 2013-14 season, Orinda Aquatics had 38 alums competing in collegiate aquatic programs throughout the country.

Some of these swimmers qualified for the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championship. In addition to Andrea Ward (see our March 26 issue), Courtney Whyte ('11 Campo and current University of Notre Dame junior) swam the fly leg of the 200 medley relay team.

At the NCAA DIII Championship, Brooke Woodward ('10 Miramonte) competed for Emory University in three individual events. This was her fourth championship meet. Alyssa Levine, a senior representing Williams College, competed as well.
