Good morning Hammerheads!
Hello Hammerheads!
Our first week of practice went well, and despite the thunderstorms this week, every age group was able to practice at least 2 times :-)
Coach Helen and her team are doing a phenomenal job and we are so excited to have each and every one of them. You can check out their short bios on our website under the Team Info Tab: https://
General information:
Practices and Inclement Weather: Swim team practices are every week day. We also practice in light rain and cooler temps but not during thunderstorms and heavy rain (must be able to see bottom of pool despite rain). We try our best to keep you informed about delayed/cancelled practices due to inclement weather via email.
Spirit Wear: Your ordered merchandise has arrived and many of you picked your orders up today. Susan Scott will be at practice next week with your orders. Please check in with her to pick up your order or pick up additional swim caps, string bags etc. Email: [email protected] Thank you Susan for coordinating this. :-)
Diving Well: This season we are lucky to have our own life guards available to watch the diving well. Swimmers are welcome to jump in before or after their practice as long as there is a lifeguard in the seat by the well. Please note that the baby pool stays closed. Thank you!
Volunteering: Our Volunteer Coordinator, Skye Durrer, will reach out soon with information and details about volunteer jobs and our first Swim Meet at Forest Lakes, June 15.
Refunds: We offer a full refund up until June 10th in case your summer plans have changed and a partial refund (minus JSL fee) until June 20th.
Members of the Swim Team Board are present at practices. Please come and find us or email us with any questions or concerns.
