Thank you all for a successful first week! I am truly impressed by the skills and abilities I’ve seen on the pool deck so far; it looks like we are set for an amazing season.
I would also like to thank everyone for their introductions this week. Please understand that I am working hard to learn each swimmer’s name and their swimming abilities. As my main focus has been on the athletes during these first few practices, I may not yet remember which parent belongs to each swimmer—thank you for your patience and understanding as I get to know our families.
I have received several questions regarding coaching responsibilities. While we all collaborate to support each practice, I have listed our primary coaching assignments below to help you understand the specific focus for each age group:
6U: TaKnowledge and Emily (starting in May)
8U: Jake Verlander
10U: Hope Hudson
12U: Hope Hudson & Jazzmen McCray starting this week (assisting until Kelser Campbell arrives from college)
14U: Katie Christy
As Head Coach, my role is to rotate throughout the pool deck to work with each group, ensuring our coaches have the support and resources they need to focus on each athlete's development.
Couple of reminders:
Clinics are on for today.
No food or glass on the pool deck, and please remember to communicate with the coach's during the breaks.
We will have United guarding for us this week.
We are off to a fantastic start, and I look forward to seeing everyone back at the pool.
