A special thanks goes out to the Plymouth Seniors: Jackson Bougher, Grant Keirn, Eli Schramm, David Schadek, and Justin Houin. Justin was a member of the team for 4 years who began his career traveling to practices at Oregon Davis. We are grateful he showed such tremendous improvement over 4 years! Each of the 5 seniors will be missed and the program thanks them for their positive attitudes and hard work to improve.
As we continue to build our program, the Plymouth Coaches are excited to host a Middle School Swim & Dive clinic for anyone in grades 6th-8th. Information can be found on the Plymouth High School Athletics Website. (https://forms.gle/y3RjwhoWJnHSursC6)
