Recreational Swim

If you are not a member of the Hollymead Pool, please do not use the pool recreationally (meaning outside of swim team practice). We need to be respectful of the Hollymead community and pool rules.

End of Season Banquet 

The end of season party will be on Sunday July 30 at 6pm at the Hollymead Pool (weather permitting).  More details to come, but please mark your calendars!

Coaches Gifts 

Our coaches work HARD, every day of the week, not only on the pool deck but so much behind the scenes as well.  Each summer, we collect a donation from parents to gift to our coaches as a Thank You for all of their dedication, hard work, and commitment to our children and team. If you would like to contribute, please send your donation through Venmo (@Skye-Durrer, phone number 434-953-8353 and add a memo for Coaches' Gifts) or bring cash to me on the pool deck.

Unexpected Schedule Change?

We understand that schedule changes happen.  If you have have signed up for a meet and can no longer attend, please email Helen at [email protected] as soon as possible. 

If you have signed up for a volunteer spot and are no longer able to cover it, PLEASE email me at [email protected]. I need to know so I can get the spot filled. Please do not just remove your name from the volunteer sign up as I do not get notified and do not know there is a spot that now needs to be filled. 

Volunteer Check In

Before each meet begins, please check in with me so I know that you are there and don't have any questions.  If you don't know who I am, just ask around for someone to point you in the right direction.

Let me know if you have any questions. Go Hammerheads! 

Warmly, 

Skye Durrer
