Upcoming Meets

🏊♂️ May 3, 2025 – Next Meet at Copley YMCA

🏊♂️ Spring Championship – May 31 - June 1, 2025, at Cameron YMCA

We have just received confirmation that our Spring Championship Meet will take place from May 31st to June 1st at Cameron YMCA. We hope everyone can attend, as this will be the last meet of the season before we start our Summer Rec League. You do not have to attend a prior meet to be eligible for the championship meet, so we encourage all swimmers to participate!

Parent Feedback Survey – Share Your Thoughts!

We value your input and want to continue improving our program. We've created a brief Parent Feedback Survey that takes less than 5 minutes to complete. Your feedback helps us understand what we’re doing well and where we can grow, ensuring that every swimmer feels supported and every parent feels heard.

Chris, our new director, and I will be reviewing the responses to get a clear view of our team’s strengths and areas for growth as we prepare for the upcoming season. The survey is completely anonymous, so please feel free to share your honest thoughts. If you don’t have any suggestions for improvement, we’d still love to hear what you enjoy most about our program! Head over to Spond to complete the survey.

Practice Reminders – Bring Your Gear!

It is very important that swimmers arrive at practice with all their required equipment. Each swimmer should bring:

• Goggles

• Swim Cap

• Water Bottle

• Fins

• Towels

We are currently running low on loaner equipment, so it is crucial that swimmers bring their own properly fitting gear. Having the right equipment ensures that swimmers can practice effectively and safely. If you need fins, Amazon has some great options at an affordable price. Please make sure your child has the right gear that fits well so they can get the most out of their training sessions.

Thank you for your continued support of the Hurricanes swim team—we couldn't do it without our incredible swimmers, and families. Let's keep up the momentum and finish the season strong!
