Members of the Lenoir City High and Concord Christian schools swim teams were congratulated Thursday by Lenoir City officials for fundraising efforts for the new bubble over the Claire Donahue Aquatic Center.

Both teams presented an honorary plaque to Tony Aikens, Lenoir City mayor, and Zack Cusick, Lenoir City Parks and Recreation program coordinator. The presentation comes on the heels of a one-year financial battle and a possible disbandment of the team due to the rapid deterioration of the previous bubble that housed swim meets in the winter.
