After a brief meeting at GRCHS, the excitement is mounting for a great season!
The first day of the season, November 19th, is rapidly approaching. The training will be similar to last year except for the slight revision that we will offer morning practice this year for those that are interested.
The schedule is a good one for us. We will start with a few out of conference meets that will give us challenges in almost every event. Meets with Northview and Holland Christian during the year will provide competition for every person on the team. The West Michigan relays at Zeeland's new facility will be a good chance for the guys to swim fast. Also, put a mark on your calendar on January 17th for the annual showdown with Catholic Central. We have had the upper hand over the last few years thanks to a solid core of swimmers and an excellent training plan devised by Keith Rietsma and implemented Coach Pyper.
The interest level was strong at our initial meeting. It included 11 fresh faces that are considering joining the great tradition of GRCHS Swimming and Diving. If you run into one of them, encourage them to hop on board. As for you returners, it looks like another outstanding run to close out the City League!
