After the General Manager and the coach reported the achievements of the club, the students talked about their past club activities, individual aspirations, and vision for the club’s future.

Comment from GOMI
I have always hoped that swimmers in my generation would energize the swimming club and the swimming world. Our next goal is the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. As a member of the national team, I am hoping to bring new excitement to the swimming world, with MATSUMOTO Katsuhiro and other senior swimmers from Meiji University.

Team members have made great strides together, and their close bonds are evident in the photo
