We hope you all enjoyed your post-season vacations as much as we did! Thank you to all of our swimmers, coaches, and families whose hard work, dedication, and enthusiasm made this summer so special. Best of luck to all our swimmers jumping back into the school routine over the next couple of weeks! Trade the flip-turns for hallway turns and dive into a great new year. 

We have a couple quick updates to share with the team, so please take a look at the details below.

Division 12 Champion T-Shirts

We are beyond thrilled to celebrate our huge accomplishment as the Division 12 Champions! To commemorate this, official champion t-shirts are now available for purchase LINK.

Record Board Update and Pool Hangout - August 23rd at 12pm

Calling all record breakers!! Swimmers who broke a pool record this season will gather in the pool house to officially update the record board for the season. All swimmers and families are welcome to hang out at the pool, reconnect, and enjoy one last relaxed afternoon together. Hope to see you all there!

Team Photos and Slide Show

We want to thank our fantastic team photographer, Mary Cunningham, for capturing the fun this summer. Here’s a link to this season's photos! We’ll post the slide show on the Resources page of the team website soon.

Winter Swim Update

We want to let everyone know that we will not be offering an HRA Winter Swim Program this year, as diminished interest last season made it unfeasible for us to run. For families looking to keep their swimmers in the water during the off-season, many of our team members participate in local programs and winter clinics like NCAP, FISH, Fairfax Foxes, Swim with Beth, The St. James, and York.

If your swimmer needs further development before they can swim unassisted across the pool, consider group or private lessons at RECenter, Goldfish, Big Blue, or Kids First.

We encourage you to check out their winter options to find a group and schedule that works best for your swimmer!

We miss you!
