For most high school athletes, the trip from the last class of the day to practice is a short one.

It might be a walk down the hall to the gym.

Or perhaps across the parking lot to a field or a court.

On a rare occasion, it might be just a short drive.

But for the Nelson County swim team, it’s a 30-minute plus bus ride to the Lebanon Aquatic Center.

“Oftentimes, we’re on the bus as long as we’re in the water,” said Cardinal coach Curt Scifres.
