This week is intensive training. That means we have extra morning swim practices. Be sure you are caught up on schoolwork. And get to bed early. There won't be much time for social activities this week.

Our meet with Grand Ledge is on Thursday. Team members report on-deck in suits to setup at 4:30.

We will end the intensive training week with a meet at Jenison High School. Note that this will be a long day. Be sure to bring a sack lunch and homework. You may also want to bring a bag chair. Here are the timelines:
