In the last year Coach Nathan Wilcox has had multiple swimmers finish with in the Club Excellence programs requirements. The following athletes helped TMEC Tritons finish with in the top 200 in country; Hayden Cornellison, Madison Frederick, Liberty Gilbert and Claire Fische. The Temecula Tritons Swim Club is extremely proud of all these athletes have achieved.

It’s truly a ‘coaching staff effort’ for us to help every young athlete in our program reach their highest potential. I would like to thank USA Swimming for the recognition of Bronze Medal Club”.
