What's Happening with Grandville Swim

Hi All -- I know this week has been a crazy one with school starting. We are excited to get into the thick of the season! Please help your girls get the proper rest, hydration, and diet during this busy and strenuous season. It is critical for their success in the pool and in the classroom.

We talked at practice today about the importance of drinking water throughout the day and at practice, consuming protein, carbs, vegetables, and fruits. Please assist them by purchasing healthy foods and encouraging and reminding them to drink water.

Tri-Meet
The Tri-Meet on Tuesday, Sept. 6th was a success! We won the meet against both teams and gave some impressive performances.

West Michigan Relays
As you hopefully know, West Michigan Relays takes place this Saturday, Sept. 10th at Zeeland. Diving warm-up begins at 8am, with the diving competition at 9:30. The swimming competition starts at 1pm, with warm-up at 11:30. The swim girls need to arrive at the high school no later than 10:45am; the bus will leave promptly at this time. Please remember this is a drop-off only meet, meaning the bus will take us there, but the girls need to have their own rides coming home (ie. another parent, family, or yourself). If your daughter(s) cannot make the meet, please notify Keith and Jenna ASAP. For future reference, we need to know at least one week in advance if your daughter needs to miss a weekend meet - entries are generally due 7 days before the competition.

We hope you and your daughter(s) are enjoying the season so far! Please do not hesitate to contact Keith or Jenna at: grandvilleswimcoach@gmail.com with any questions or concerns. We look forward to much success this year and are pushing your girls hard to be at their best!
