Hey Wahoos!

The season starts this Monday, May 6th. Please see below for some important updates and general information.

Coaching Team

We all will be missing Coach Kayla this year, she left some big shoes for me to fill! I will be taking over her role this summer as head coach/team manager. Coach Emma and Coach Renee will be leading the 5-10 age group, and Coach Grant and Coach Carrick will be leading the 11+ swimmers. The rest of our wonderful and talented coaches are super excited to kick off the season! You should check out the Coaches tab of the website to see some of them when they were Wahoos :)

Practice Cancellation Due to Rain

In the event of rain, we do not cancel the entire day of practice at once. If we hear thunder or see lightning, we take a 30-minute break. I will send out emails updating practice age groups if they have been canceled. If there is predicted rain or stormy weather (Hello, Houston), please check your email regularly in case of an update. We will also post on the Instagram and Facebook story. 

No Parents Allowed on Deck

To ensure our focus and safety of swimmers, parents will not be allowed on the pool deck during practice. If you have questions, you can email me.

Baby Pool

Younger siblings ages 4 and under are allowed to swim in the Baby Pool during practice. Parents MUST supervise their swimmers AT ALL TIME. No Wahoos are allowed in the baby pool. If these rules are not followed, coaches have the right to close the baby pool.

Social Media

We want to remind everyone that we have a Facebook and Instagram account. We will be trying to use the accounts more frequently this summer, so check in for updates!

Growth Mindset

For many swimmers this is their first year on swim team. We understand that and we work hard to ensure swimmers see growth every year. The first couple weeks of swim team can be intimidating and overwhelming. Please encourage your swimmer to come to practice, ready to try their best and give it their all.
