In 2006, freshmen Wild, Dries, Dodson and Reigel finished first at the Division II consolation final of the 400 free relay. The senior girls also have a special thing going in the relay events. She was really helpful in getting us to be better swimmers.” Freshman year, she helped me with my dive, or my flip turn, or my relay start. “She’s a club swimmer, and most of us were coming from water polo,” Dries said. The Wilds moved from south Florida right before Chelsea’s freshman year, but she immediately made her mark both at Laguna Beach and at Irvine-based Novaquatics, her and Billy’s club team. “This year, what we really want to accomplish is making sure that the times that we swim at CIF are times that are going to go on the record board here at Laguna Beach, and times that are going to hopefully stand for a while.” Since our freshman year, we’ve all been here together. It’s just been great having the other girls who have been with me in swimming.

“It’s our senior year, so we’re looking forward to going out with a bang and doing everything that we want to accomplish. “We’re definitely really excited to swim fast this year,” Chelsea Wild said. They want to defend their Orange Coast League title. But she wants to improve those times this season, and why not? This year’s exceptionally strong senior class, also including swimmers like UCLA-bound Andrea Reigel, Stanford-bound Annika Dries, Cal-bound Taylor Dodson, Madison Duncan and Hannah Fait, has been posting fast times the past few weeks. To put it in perspective, those times would all be at least consideration times in Division I “” and the season is still relatively young.Ĭhelsea Wild’s school records in the 200 and 500 free now stand at roughly 1:52 and 4:58, she said. At the Lake Elsinore meet March 21, she posted automatic times in the 200 free (1 minute, 55.53 seconds), 500 free (5:09.92), 50 free (25.77 seconds) and 100 free (54.74). She’s posting CIF Southern Section Division III automatic times everywhere she goes. Chelsea is no stranger to the CIF meet, and the USC-bound distance freestyle standout has already had some great swims this year. “When he’s at the meets, and we swim some of the same events, I want to beat him,” Chelsea Wild said.
