Hi Everyone-
I want to officially welcome you to the start of the 2024 regular swim season. In anticipation of seeing many of you tomorrow in practice, us coaches have done our best to assign your swimmers in practice groups for the start of the season. Remember- just because your swimmers are assigned to a certain practice group for the start does not mean they will be in that practice group at the end of the season. We did our best to group swimmers of similar ages and ability levels together. We also adjusted the group to keep our ratios of swimmers to coaches at a good level. Something new this year that we did to accommodate our numbers and ages of swimmers is we made a group of advanced Juniors that will swim in the lanes during Junior practices 11:00-11:30am. Please reach out to me, Coach Hilary, if you have any questions or concerns about your swimmer's group assignment. See the group assignments in the attachment below.
Upcoming Events:
Tomorrow June 17th- New parents meeting at 6:30pm at BTC pool- Come meet some of us coaches and get your questions about your first swim season answered.
Tuesday: Stroke and Turn Clinic on Zoom with Nicole Chance from Middlebury from 6-7:30pm. Please consider taking this clinic. It would really help us out. If we do not have officials we cannot have meets. Without meets kids will have less fun and we will be sad. Please be a hero! No prior competitive swim knowledge is required. All are welcome.

Ok that is all from me for now. Expect my regular Sunday updates, plus a few thousand more, for the next 7 weeks of this short and action packed season. If you are having trouble using Swimtopia or any other issues please reach out to me. I am here for you all. I am so honored and privileged to be leading this wonderful team. I have a wonderful group of coaches that I am so thankful for everyday. Happy Father's Day to all you Fathers out there. I hope you all had a fabulous weekend and I will see you at the pool!
Coach Hilary
