Men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s teams begin to fall into a rhythm of enthusiasm as they expect their season to be filled with opportunities to grow and learn in the pool with their teammates and coaches. Part of UNCW Swim and Dive team\u2019s groundwork for a successful season is goal-setting during the initial weeks of practice. They troubleshoot for adversity and other issues that could hurt the potential for a successful season in the pool, many of which are surrounded within academic and athletic realms.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_330243\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-330243\" data-attachment-id=\"330243\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/flooded-with-hope-despite-a-flooded-campus-uncw-swim-and-dive-affected-by-hurricane-florence\/kristi-allison-wrightsville-beach\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/kristi-allison-wrightsville-beach.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"801,640\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"kristi-allison-wrightsville-beach\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;kristi-allison-wrightsville-beach&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Kristi Allison&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/kristi-allison-wrightsville-beach-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/kristi-allison-wrightsville-beach.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-330243 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/kristi-allison-wrightsville-beach-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"kristi-allison-wrightsville-beach\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-330243\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Kristi Allison<\/p><\/div>\n<p>However, getting caught in the middle of a natural disaster that separates teammates from the common place they call home is not something that readily comes to mind during this process. Hurricane Florence was identified in the Atlantic Ocean, having the potential to create chaos within the North and South Carolina coasts. Wilmington is no stranger to storms, however the strength and magnitude of this one was almost unmatched to anything UNCW has ever seen.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Displacement from UNCW<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Along with other students living on campus at UNCW, swimmers and divers were forced to evacuate on September eleventh &#8211; just three days before Hurricane Florence arrived. \u201cA lot of us traveled together. Not everyone had transportation and could get back to their hometown with such short notice,\u201d <strong>Elena Adcock<\/strong> explains, a sophomore swimmer at UNCW.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the team was able to leave Wilmington besides a few; all who stayed are safe including the coaching staff.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m from California, so going home wasn&#8217;t possible.

We lost power and tried to sleep in the pitch black. The wind was incredibly loud, and we could hear trees snapping. All Friday the wind and rain were bad; we were stuck inside. By Saturday, the wind and rain lightened up, and the woman I was staying with took me to see the places we live. We drove down the street and were overjoyed that not a single tree had hit a house that any of my teammates or I live. We got the rest of the rain Saturday night and Sunday. On Monday, I went back to our street to discover that my house and a house some of our other teammates live in had flooded.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><strong>Recovery Efforts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_329641\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-329641\" data-attachment-id=\"329641\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/flooded-with-hope-despite-a-flooded-campus-uncw-swim-and-dive-affected-by-hurricane-florence\/maryeven-caa-championships\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/maryeven-caa-championships.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"750,906\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"maryeven-caa-championships\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;maryeven-caa-championships&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Evan Arsenault&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/maryeven-caa-championships-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/maryeven-caa-championships.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-329641\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/maryeven-caa-championships-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"maryeven-caa-championships\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-329641\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Evan Arsenault<\/p><\/div>\n<p>While there has been an extensive amount of damage on campus, UNCW Swim and Dive continues to be optimistic.
