Pooling Resources Together

It’s pretty unique that these two rival schools share the same pool at Healdsburg High, which has allowed for a special camaraderie throughout the year. They stagger their practice times and coordinate their meets, which has made for friendly yet intense competitions. As part of the five-school Redwood partition of the North Bay League, they compete with Analy, Piner, and Rancho Cotate high schools.

A Battle for the Ages

The boys’ swim teams from both Healdsburg and Windsor proved to be each other’s toughest opponents throughout the season. In their first meet, Windsor notched a nail-biting victory over Healdsburg with a score of 82-81. Talk about a way to kick off the season!

The excitement didn’t stop there. In their second matchup, a lap-counting mistake during Yeshua Lemus’ race created quite the stir. After discussions between coaches, they agreed to allow Lemus’ swim to count, leading to a spectacular finish with Healdsburg edging Windsor 86-84. Due to this back-and-forth, league officials decided to produce two pennant banners for the teams as both emerged as champions.

Girls’ Action on the Rise

For the girls’ teams, Windsor showcased their prowess, managing to defeat Healdsburg in both competitions. The first meet saw Windsor triumph with a score of 85-81. In a twist, Healdsburg’s girls had to miss the second match to participate in SkillsUSA finals in Southern California. Despite the scheduling conflict, 35 Healdsburg students participated in the event, with some even bringing home medals!

With Healdsburg’s girls team less represented, Windsor thrived, but Healdsburg still held their own at the North Bay League championship meet, securing fifth place while Windsor came in sixth. It’s safe to say the spirit of competition shone brightly!

Stars of the Season

Among the standout swimmers was Layla Greaves from Healdsburg, who didn’t just make waves but broke them, winning both the 100-meter backstroke and 200-meter individual medley at the league finals! With remarkable times of 58.86 and 2:09.58, she is tantalizingly close to breaking the 100-yard backstroke record set by her mother at Healdsburg. This legacy of racing continues as her brother, Lucas Greaves, also made headlines, finishing fifth in both the 500-yard freestyle and 100-yard backstroke at league finals.

Looking Ahead

As many senior swimmers prepare to graduate in 2026, Healdsburg’s swim program is gearing up for some changes. The strong community support, dedicated coaching staff, and on-campus pool ensure that interest in the sport will remain high among students. Swimming has truly become a cherished pursuit in Healdsburg, and there’s no doubt that future seasons will continue to foster friendly rivalries and encourage budding athletes!

As the season wraps up, it’s incredible to see how teamwork, competition, and community spirit make waves that go beyond the pool. Here’s to more water-filled adventures, friendly rivalries, and, of course, shared victories in years to come!
