Welcome to the 2026 summer season! We have a busy and exciting summer ahead of us. Please see below for a special message from Coach Sydney regarding our first week of practice, along with details on our upcoming parent information meetings.

From Coach Sydney: I am so excited to be returning this year as your Head Coach this season! I cannot wait for all the fun times and fast races coming this summer!

Our first practice two practices Monday and Tuesday (May 4th and 5th) will be drylannd practice only (due to our recent colder temperatures). Please have your swimmer come in sneakers and exercise clothes.  I hope to be in the water on Wednesday and Thursday - but just in case, please plan to bring sneakers and a shirt.

I will be communicating what to expect via Remind. Please be sure you are signed up for that. This the best way to reach me for questions or concerns.

During practice times, the pool will be used for swimmers only. We will not have a lifeguard on duty. Coaches are responsible for athletes only (not siblings). Safety is our #1 concern, so please help us out this season to keep everyone safe!

As we kick off the season, we want to ensure that everyone is prepared and informed. We will be holding two informational meetings on Tuesday, May 12th during swimmer practices.

These sessions are specifically geared toward parents who are new to the team this year. If you have been with the team in previous seasons, your attendance is not required, though you are always welcome to stop by if you have questions.

Meeting Details:

• Date: Tuesday, May 12th
• Times: 5:00 PM or 6:00 PM (Please attend the session that best fits your schedule)
• Location: Neely Farm Clubhouse

We will cover essential information regarding meet schedules, volunteer roles, and what to expect throughout the season.

We are looking forward to a great season. Please contact us if you have any questions!
