1960's Edition of "New Schools, New Pools, Always Friends" with Captions

UPDATE: The 1960s Edition was selected for the Official Version of the song. I am still including it here because it was part of the voting.

A song about a group of girls about to graduate high school and leave behind their Water Polo Team. However, as they move on to New Schools and New Pools, they will always be friends.

The song was written for Clara and other 2025 Seniors of the Vernon Hills High School Girl's Water Polo Team. While working on the song twelve editions were produced using different music styles from Beach Rock to Country, from Rock to Pop. However, in the end most people agreed that the one done in the style of 1960 was the best, so it is now the official version of the song.

Below are the official Lyrics, they were writing before putting it to music, with some AI help (I can't sing, plus it should be song by a female). The words are slightly different on some editions of the song.

Dedicated to both My Little Butterflies 🦋🦋

=== Lyrics ==========================

New Schools, New Pools Always Friends

[Verse 1] Through splashes and laughter, we grew, A team of dreamers, a family too. From sunrise practices to late-night talks, Our hearts beat steady, like synchronized clocks.

[Pre-Chorus] The ripples we made, they’ll never fade, In this pool where memories were laid.

[Chorus] New schools, new pools, new tides to ride, But our friendship’s a current that won’t subside. Through the waves of life, we'll always recall, The water polo team—our heart, our all.

[Verse 2] Caps and goggles, victories and tears, A bond strengthened over countless years. From first awkward passes to championship plays, This pool was our canvas, our glory days.

[Pre-Chorus] The ripples we made, they’ll never fade, In this pool where memories were laid.

[Chorus] New schools, new pools, new tides to ride, But our friendship’s a current that won’t subside. Through the waves of life, we'll always recall, The water polo team—our heart, our all.

[Bridge] We’re moving forward, chasing dreams anew, But the pool in our hearts stays crystal blue. Whenever life feels like a lonely stream, We’ll dive back here in our shared team dream.

[Outro] New schools, new pools, same souls within, Forever teammates, through thick and thin. The waters of tomorrow may lead us apart, But we’ll always be sisters in heart.
