While swimming around the world still looks a lot different than normal due to the effects of COVID-19, we're still highlighting and celebrating swim teams from across the country. This week, we're taking a closer at the Stamford Sailfish Aquatic Club, a relatively new year-round team that's already grown by leaps and bounds in just a few years in existence.

Barely three years ago, head coach Connie Wu founded the Sailfish with only 19 swimmers, and in the few years since then, the Sailfish have already made an impact on the national level, having been recognized as a Bronze Medal Club by USA Swimming. Just last month at the Richmond, VA, site of the U.S. Open, Sailfish swimmer Connor Morikawa set Connecticut LSC resident record with his 1:01.38 in the 100m breaststroke. Sailfish boys relays squads have also set state records, and a small bevy of swimmers have put up time among the fastest in the nation.
