Hats off to everyone who gave their best at the February Finale!

  • We also had a great showing at Meyer's Pool in the February Finale this weekend. The team raced hard and as a result, over 70% of our swims were best times!
  • I'd like to recognize a number of swimmers who achieved 100% best times... that means a best-ever performance for each and every swim (in some cases up to 8!):
    • Corbin Anno, Finneghan Adamowski, Elliot Archer, Mathias Bohn, Maci Chandler, Jaxon Cook, Lochlan DaRonco, Mica Gillaspie,  Jojo Jones, Abby Manley, Eddie Pursley, Landry Shane, Nora Ubben, Maya Winters

Team Calendar is Posted through September, 2023

  • Please see the event calendar on our website for a number of recent updates. Notable for everyone's calendar is spring break, end of summer break, our entire summer meet schedule, and Spring and Fall Basecamp dates.
  • Spring Basecamp will take place on 4 consecutive Sunday mornings in March and April and will include a combination of long course water time, gym time, and classroom time. Details will be published ASAP as we finalize the costs associated with our pool and gym rental. The Fall Basecamp dates represent the first week of Fall Basecamp. Additional details and dates are yet to be determined.
  • Still to come is our Summer and Fall 2023 practice schedule. The changes to the Jeffco school day mean major changes to our schedule and our pool use agreements with EPRD. Negotitions are still in progress, but I am excited and confident that we are going to be able to leverage the changes for the good of our program. Moving forward, I hope to have the most effective and convenient training schedule we have had to date. I can't thank you enough for your patience as we finalize our plans! I look forward to sharing them ASAP.
