| GA's girls' swim team has had a dominant season. |
All of the long hours spent swimming, eating incredibly healthy
meals, and staying in on Friday nights will all be worth the sacrifice this
weekend. It is the annual Eastern Interscholastic Swimming and Diving
Championships held at LaSalle University! For those who aren’t savvy with the swimming
world, it is the GA swim team’s biggest meet of the season. We have spent many
months preparing to win the championship. Our practice schedule consists of a
morning practice from 6 AM to 7:40 AM then from 3 PM to 6 PM. But preparation
doesn’t stop then. Eating habits and sleeping patterns also affect our
performance. Each day, swimmers are encouraged by our coaches to eat healthy,
protein-filled meals. Another big factor to the teams’ success is what we do on
weekends. Swimmers often turn down the invitation to stay out weekend nights
with friends. This is a huge sacrifice especially for a bunch of high schoolers
but it is completely worth it. Getting to stand as a team, on the block labeled
one, holding the Eastern trophy is priceless. The girls' team recently won the
Inter-AC Championship and everyone is very excited to compete at Easterns. We
love seeing our teachers and friends come out to support the GA swim team at
LaSalle each year. We hope this year is no exception as the girl’s team
competes for our fourth consecutive Eastern Interscholastic Championship title!
