My Project

The GMS swim team is a great sport for our students to join. They not only learn the strokes and basic swimming rules, they also learn an abundance of character traits that will help them in life. They learn to support each other, set personal goals, and form friendships that will stick with them for years.

The items in this project will help us to provide goggles and bungees for any student who has forgotten these items or have had these items break.

We also have done two folding chairs for our record keepers and managers for swim meets. There is extremely limited seating at meets and these chairs will help us give these students a spot to be able to gather information during our meets. This project will allow us to have a back up of these items for our swimmers. Thanks for your support.
