State-qualifying times met, county records broken and times falling in numerous events at Tuesday’s Hall County Championships were prevalent enough to make a strong statement: Swimming is getting better in the area. And not just for meet champion Flowery Branch, which scored 380 points to lead the overall points standings. With six teams competing the annual meet at Frances Meadows Aquatic Center, the largest ever for the event, 11 county records fell in what Falcons coach Valerie Lancaster considered the most talented field of swimmers the Hall County has ever assembled.
