AAS CAPTURES NEW NATIONAL TITLES IN FLORIDA






















Caitlin and the Arizona Aqua Stars have reached new levels! All routines placed in the top 10 at US Nationals and have secured themselves as one of the nations top 3 teams!






Although Caitlin is only 12 she swims the 13-15 age group and she was incredible! She was #8 in Trio and her team was 4th- they were just .08 behind the third place team! They are the youngest team in the age group so we know the best is yet to come for these girls! Caitlin's fellow teammates were #1 and #5 in duet and #3 in solo. Our younger 11-12 girls also all secured top 5 swims! The future is bright is for AAS!






The AAS coaches are incredible and Jill has been named a coach for the national team!!!
