Lincoln High School's swim team has endured much adversity throughout the last two years. While many other sports teams were able to have at least a shortened season in 2021, Lincoln’s swim team didn't even get a season. This year, the team was finally able to compete regularly, but the season wasn't without difficulties. “This season was different in a lot of ways," coach Mikha Kaiel said. "We had less pool time because the Multnomah Athletic Club (MAC) didn’t have enough lifeguards. We had swimmers miss large parts of the season because of COVID and needing to quarantine.” Despite the challenges, Lincoln still found success. Both the girl’s and boy’s teams won their respective district titles, and many swimmers qualified for the state competition. The girl’s team in particular went on to place fourth out of 25 teams at State.
