The Tosa Swordfish, the Wauwatosa Recreation Department's competitive swim team, will send eight individuals and eight relay teams to state championship meets this season.
The 12-and-younger state meet is Friday through Sunday, and the 13-and-older meet is March 5 to 7.
An individual must swim faster than a specific time for each event within an age group during the season to qualify for the state meet.
"I don't know if the Tosa Swordfish have ever sent this many swimmers to the state meet," coach Lindsey Gerszewski said. "It's certainly the largest contingent we have sent since I've been here."
