The last time the LSU swimming and diving teams traveled to the Texas A&M Student Rec Center, many LSU swimmers dropped school record times. Some of those times were disallowed because the pool was measured too short.”It was kind of a bummer,” said LSU senior Connor Farber.But the Tigers and Lady Tigers were still able to break a few school records.The teams head back to College Station, Texas, this weekend with one thing on their minds — swimming fast.”I don’t think anyone will be thinking about the pool’s distance,” Farber said.The No. 18 Tigers defeated the Aggies, 186-114, last season, and the women were defeated by No. 8 Texas A&M’s women’s team, 178-119.The teams are coming off three straight home victories but are now going on the road to try and continue the momentum they’ve built up at the LSU Natatorium.LSU swimming coach Adam Schmitt said his team probably benefitted from the home advantage, but he thinks the travel can also provide a spark for the team.”Being in some place new can give you a little bit of excitement,” Schmitt said.In addition to excitement about hitting the road, some swimmers are excited about the opportunity to swim at a pool where records were broken.”It’s a really fast pool,” said junior Lauren Grandy. “We’ve always swam fast there.”Farber said he doesn’t expect his team to come out sluggish.”Swimming fast has to do with the way we train,” he said. “So us swimming fast is just a product of our work.”—-Contact Amos Morale at [email protected]
