Hey everyone! This is Julia and Kate, your head coaches. I hope everyone has had a good school year so far as we come close to summer. Our first day of swim team is May 20. We will be getting in the water and everyone should have a swim suit and goggles. We have changed the practice schedule as well:

4:00-5:00 11 and ups

5:00-5:30 junior whales

5:30-6:00 6&unders

6:00-7:00 7-10s

We are also looking for junior coaches to help out this year with junior whales and 6&unders. Please reach out if your child is interested in junior coaching. This practice schedule will be super helpful for us because the 11 and ups can do their practice and then go straight into helping out. Our first mock meet is June 4. For the two weeks before that we are going to focus in on every stroke along with starts and turns. We will have at least 1-2 days dedicated to that. We will also work on turns for the 11 and ups as well, we are going to spend more time on freestyle for junior whales.

It is up to you if you want your kid to swim in the meets though we normally have everyone swim besides the junior whales. The criteria is fairly the same for differentiating whether your kid belongs in junior whales or 6&unders/7-10s. Junior whales is specially for kids who really struggle to stay afloat and have never had any type of swim lessons before.

We are super excited for this season and look forward to a fun filled summer too. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out, thanks!

Julia and Kate
