Greenwich Water Polo Expands to Chelsea Piers in Stamford in July, 2012
For now it is hard hats as Chelsea Piers tiles their expansive new pool and facility... but Greenwich Water Polo players are ready to dive in as soon as the pool opens in July.
Pictured above: 18/under Matthew Fraser of Old Greenwich, 14/under Haley Garfield of Darien and 12/under Charlie Fichtner of New Canaan join GWP President Terry Lowe and Chelsea Piers' Swim Team Director Jamie Baron in checking out the new "digs" for the Greenwich Water Polo program.
"We are excited to be moving to the new Chelsea Piers in Stamford and to have a real home for the GWP program in the most fantastic athletic facility in the state. For the first time, our entire program will be housed year round in a single location with a beautiful all-deep Olympic 50-meter pool. Available pool time will permit us to enlarge the program, provide more practice time for all of our players and to maintain continuity for our teams throughout the year. We are also pleased at the prospect of coordinating our program with the new Chelsea Piers swim team, coached by Jamie Barone who has successfully worked with several of our athletes," said Terry Lowe, GWP President.
