The Mighty Marlin Swim Club had four swimmers qualify for the 2009 Short Course National Championships (SC World Championship Trials), which will be held at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way beginning Dec. 3.

“Michael Phelps and many of the other American Olympians should be there as well,” said Mighty Marlins coach Kirby Schlaufer.

Arlington residents Jennifer Domanowski, 15, qualified in the 100- and 200-meter butterfly, Morgan Ginnis, 13, made the 200-meter backstroke and the 50-meter freestyle, Hannah Peseau made the 100-meter backstroke and Marysville resident Hannah Taylor, 14, qualified in the 200-meter individual medley.

The girls also qualified their 400 medley relay for competition.

Information about the competition is available at the USA Swimming Web site.
