ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The Roberts Wesleyan men's and women's swim teams will now have a conference to compete in after the program was accepted into the Metropolitan Swim Conference. Roberts will be the 21st team to join the METS conference.
"I'm thrilled for the opportunity to join a conference and I think by doing this our program will launch itself into a reputable and competitive collegiate swimming and diving program," said head coach
