The GCDS Boy and Girls Swimming & Diving Teams each earned 2nd place at the NEPSAC Division 2 Championships held at Chelsea Piers on March 8, continuing the program's steady development.
Now in its fourth year, the swim team has grown from 7 to 29 swimmers. "We are creating a team culture where group performance is as important as individual achievement," said Emmanuel Saldana, Swimming Team Head Coach. "With many talented swimmers, we are well-positioned to continue to grow our success."
In its inaugural season, the GCDS Diving Team saw Josh Lunder '25 win the FAA Diving championship. Both Lunder and teammate Nadira China '27 received NEPSAC Honorable Mention recognition.
