Tennis

Follow our team: www.gsistennis.com

Tennis is an individual sport; however, we practice as a team. We work on serves, volleys, endurance, backhand, forehand, and other techniques in order to prepare for matches with other schools such as Chadwick, HHS, etc. Near the end of the season our school participates in a nationwide competition, the KAIAC tournament.  It's a two-day tournament where all the KAIAC international schools come together for final match play.  Our team's goal this year is to win the overall competition as well as showcase our best individual performances.

Swimming

Swimming is also an individual sport. As a swimmer who has been swimming for 12 years, this sport is special to me. I love swimming because I like diving from the platform into the silent water as soon as the whistle is blown. The silence that resonates in the pool triggers nervousness and thrill unique to swimming. I also enjoy the race and the feeling of accomplishment when I touch the wall at the end of it. It's also very rewarding to see my record improve day by day. Even a difference of 0.05 seconds is important. Although training is always difficult and hard, working with my teammates and coach always gives me the strength to keep going.
