Community college women's swimming: Pirates swimmer headed for

Hawaii

COSTA MESA - Orange Coast College swimmer Laurelle Rzeszewski will

continue her academic and athletic careers at the University of Hawaii,

Pirates Coach Dave Salo announced Wednesday.

Rzeszewski, of Tustin High School, first joined the OCC aquatics

program in the fall of 1998. During that semester, she played water polo

for the Pirates. She then swam in the spring of 1999 and is competing on

OCC's swim team again this semester.

"This is a great opportunity for Laurelle," Pirates' head women's

water polo and assistant swim coach Mike Giles said. "They have a great

program and incredible facilities there."
