Tomorrow (Tuesday)  is the BIG Day !  The first day of the 2025 practice season for the Killer Whales!

TWO very short weeks from tomorrow (Tuesday June 3)   will be our very first Swim Meet!  It's our time trial ( intra-squad)  meet.  For our new parents - that means that our swimmers get a practice meet.  Our coaches get to see their strokes and dives ( or dive attempts) and the starts and turns and know what we need to work on for our first meet! 

For our parents -  it means we get to practice running a swim meet and what our volunteer jobs consist of at a swim meet ! 

IMPORTANT ROLES TO FILL NOW

We can't run a meet without some very important people and some of these roles require special training.   If you are interested in being a stroke n turn Judge or a Back up starter - you need to let Jeremy or Tammie or Lyra know right away and you MUST recertify for Stroke N Turn EVERY Year.      It's complimentary but you MUST attend in person ( NO Virtual OPTIONS) - schedule is below.

If you are NEW to swimming - this is NOT the job for you - but don't worry we will find you another one -smile.
