Both clubs held strong ties to their respective high schools, so Roberts commissioned a design that would incorporate the garnet and gold of Crescent City and the blue of Palatka. Depite being skeptical about the color combination, what she got was a striking uniform that is both distinctive and stylish. It's easy to pick each other out at meets. Since swim meets are held by level, swimmers of any skill have a chance to compete and succeed. They are rated only against others at their particular skill level.
Swimming is team oriented.
You have to do your best to help the team win. You get a time, then you try to beat that time. Roberts said a major concern for the club is money. Between rent for the pools and various other expenses, Roberts said there won't be much left over as some of the swimmers move on to the national level. Roberts said PAST does accept private donations.
