GSA Shines at 2008 City Meet

Thank you to everyone who assisted with GSA’s summer marketing programs with the Community Swimming Association teams this year. Our tent was filled with parents who were very interested in our team’s swimming programs. Thanks to parents who coordinated and contributed to the GSA breakfasts each morning, to our CSA summer team liaisons, and to the swimmers who helped with GSA’s summer team clinics.

Also congratulations to the GSA swimmers who participated in City Meet this year. GSA claims many Golden Swimmers and City Champions this year, not to mention new City Meet records for Natalie Labonge and Myles Oliver!
