During the 2009-10 school year Manistee High School will sponsor varsity girls and varsity boys swimming and diving teams. The teams will compete as members of the Coastal Swimming Conference. Other teams in the conference are Ludington, Spring Lake, South Haven, Muskegon Catholic Central, and Fremont High School.
The girl’s season is in the fall with the first practice on August 12, 2009. The MHSAA Girl’s State Meet is in November. The boy’s season begins November 15, 2009 and the MHSAA Boy’s State Meet is held in March 2010.
All Manistee High School girls and boys are encouraged to join the swimming and diving teams. You don’t have to swim fast to join the team – we will teach and coach you to get better. If you would like a competitive team experience, why not join the swimming team?
In addition to swimming, there are opportunities to compete in the springboard diving events. We encourage individuals who like tumbling, gymnastics, ballet, cheerleading, acrobatics, dance, and other sports to join the diving team. You don’t need any previous experience – we will teach you how.
We will also need student managers, timers, and meet officials. Everyone can be a part of this exciting new program at Manistee High School.
If you think you would like to join in the excitement, please stop in the office and sign the interest sheet. We will contact you with more information. I’m looking forward to talking with you.
