The Battle Mountain NNA swim team has been taking part in meets all year and will head to the Nevada State Short Course championships this week in Henderson.
State qualifiers include Nevaeh Serna in nine events and Zayne Hall in eight.
Hall aged up in October, which meant he competed in the 11-12-year-old division all year but had to swim times of a 13-year old to qualify for state and the hard work paid off for him.
Serna, who is eight years old, learned to swim two years ago.
