Weekly BGHS Swim/Dive Update - April 17, 2023

Coach Michael Kinross
The Gaels picked up two victories this past weekend as we took on Foothill High School. Both the boys and girls teams dominated the meet from start to finish. The coaching staff was excited to see how aggressive we raced and loved seeing our teammates step outside of their comfort zones trying new races. Way to go Gorman! Full results can be found here and are uploaded into TU.
 
Please make sure you are signing up for meets ahead of time and getting your swims in. We are less then a month away from the first day of our Regional Championships... and the next few weeks will fly by! A reminder you must do a minimum of 3 meets to be eligible for the NIAA Regional meets and to earn a varsity letter. There are Regional qualifying times that must be met to swim an event individually. Those qualifying times can be found here.
 
No Practice Today
Reminder we do NOT have practice today. All teammates are encouraged to swim with your club teams or try go swim/workout on your own! If you do swim on your own, please be respectful of the facilities and make sure to pay the daily lap swim fee, if they have one.
 
The full list of non-practice days can be found under  Meets on the team website.
