"I am very excited
about joining the Exeter Swim Team and am looking forward to
both continuing and expanding its success. We will
work to bring out the potential of EST's younger swimmers
with an emphasis on teaching stoke technique and through fun,
creative practices. I have always believed that fast swimming
can be fun, ..... that effort and improvement should be rewarded as
much as achievement, ......and that your friends and team
"family" are the glue that
binds everything together."
As a side business, Greig builds
swim team record boards and underwater video cameras for stroke
technique work. The record boards on the walls of the
PEA pool and the UNH pool are his products.
