About Our Season
We are so excited to open up registration for the coming swim season. The first practice will be September 26th and this will be a mandatory practice for everyone. During this session, we will go over team expectations as well as give a swim assessment to make sure your swimmer is in their appropriate section. While we highly encourage developing swimmers, it is important to note that this is a swim team and not swim lessons.
There are a few changes from last year. We are excited to offer a variety of coaching perspectives and will be welcoming back some of our excellent coaches from previous years. Kathy Forrestal from last year will be returning and will be joined by Jack Chase, Tabitha Bowling, Lisa Paquette and Noah Foster. Mondays and Wednesdays, we will have two coaches on deck; Tuesdays and Thursdays there will be one. Tim Tester and Tyler Tanner will be team captains to help lead warm ups and encourage a team atmosphere.
When you open the registration link, you will see that 1x/week and 2x/week swimmers will swim from 6:00-7:00. This will allow them to finish at the same time as the more experienced swimmers and help to encourage a team atmosphere. The 3x and 4x/week swimmers will begin promptly at 5:30.
Competition is highly encouraged for all and there will be several options for meets. Most are held at UVAC in White River Junction, one at Norwich, and one at St. Michael's College.
