Keep Catholic Central families in your prayers

Swimmers and parents,

Please keep the Catholic Central families in your prayers as their girls head swim coach was in a terrible motorcycle accident yesterday. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the families in the community. For more information you can visit www.grnsa.org .

Summer Swimming

Parents and Swimmers,

I hope this finds you all in good spirits! I know that spring is going to be over before we know it, and summer is right around the corner. I would highly recommend getting involved in some summer swim program if at all possible. A lot of the girls do the Calvin College summer swim team that is a conditioning group right at Calvin College. Also East Grand Rapids Aquatics swim team has a conditioning group as well. This team is in the morning over at the East Grand Rapids High School (I help coach this club team out of the high school season).

If you have any questions or need any advice please feel free to email me - Alyssa.ludema@gmail.com.

Go Eagles!

Banquet details

The banquet is going to be Monday, November 28th at 7:00 pm. We will be in the lower commons and it would be best to park in the teacher and staff parking lot. Plan on eating dinner before you come as we will be doing desserts. If everyone could bring a dessert to pass that would be great!

*If the girls could please bring their swim warm ups to the banquet that would be awesome!

Congrats to a 9th place at state and the banquet date

Congrats to the lady eagles who finished 9th place at the state swim meet! Everyone should be so proud of the hard work they have done this past season, way to go. If you are interested in looking at results click here .

Banquet Details:

We will be having the swim and dive team banquet November 28th (Monday) at the high school. I will find out what time we can get the lower commons at and speak with the captains and their parents about details of the night.

Middle School Meet Success & State Schedule

Thank you for helping with the Middle School meet:

Thank you to all who came out to help work and support the middle school meet. We had a lot of people there and I think this will make a huge impact as some of these kids get ready to make a decision about swimming in high school. We also raised some money from selling concessions to add to the team fund (thank you to everyone for making donations).

Girls who are headed to State:

Monday- 6:00-7:30

Tuesday- 6:00-7:30

Wednesday- 6:00-7:30

Thursday- 2:30-3:30 (we have to practice before Calvin and I will talk with school about being let out at 2:00)

*I will send the girls home tonight with a schedule for the state weekend. We plan on leaving Calvin around 4:30, if parents would like to bring luggage or send a farewell between 4:15-4:30 that would be great!

Go Eagles!
