The well prepared West Hawaii Sharks swim team is looking forward to a great start of the Summer Games, following the successful Special Olympics Weinberg Neighbor Island Regional Swim Meet on Maui April 14, said Coach Holly DeGeal.
The Summer Games are the culminating statewide events for the Spring Season. More than 1,000 talented athletes and unified partners, guided by their coaches, compete at this Olympic-style competition on Oahu. Roughly 2,500 volunteers will donated their time during this three-day contest in late May.
On behalf of the West Hawaii Sharks swim team, parents, chaperones and coaches, DeGeal recently thanked participants for their overwhelming support.
“The Special Olympics Weinberg Neighbor Island Regional Swim Meet would not have been possible without your kokua,” she said.
