Brian Pursley

Hello Hurricanes Families!

I hope everyone had a fun and refreshing spring break! I look forward to welcoming our athletes back to the pool this afternoon. We'll be back on our regular schedule until our next days off: Friday April 14th (for a High School Meet at Wulf) and Saturday April 15th (for the FAST / CUDA /EVER Tri meet).

Please see some more updates and announcements below.

Thanks and go Hurricanes!

Sectionals Recap

While we all rested, our top swimmers did a really outstanding job representing the Hurricanes at the Sectional Championships in Austin, Texas. 

Sectionals is the first milestone in the progression of national level meets ( In order of difficulty, they are Sectionals - Futures - Juniors Nationals - Senior Nationals - Olympic Trials). 

Sectionals was highly competitive this year, and Emilie Coleman, Zander De Jager, Aspen Fisher, Tallaby Riddle, Elliot Somers all rose to the task.

Emilie, Elliot, and Tallaby all came away qualified for this summer's Futures Championships. Congratulations to each of them! 

All 5 swimmers swam personal bests over the course of the week. One of the highlights was Tallaby's 29 second time drop in her mile, finishing in 17:11.31 earning her 12 place. 

Congrats to all the Hurricanes at sectionals and I look forward to seeing many more athletes on our sectionals roster!

Basecamp

Registration for Spring Basecamp is live on our website through the calendar. This iteration will be less intensive than the fall version, and will be centered around the chance to train long course. Since this is the only long course training opportunity we'll have this summer, I hope that we can take full advantage with great participation!

We'll have sessions on 3 consecutive Sundays, April 23rd, April 30th, and May 7th. Each session will be formatted as follows:

  • Category 2-3 ($50.00 registration)
    • Swim at Carmody Pool: 6:30am - 8:00am
  • Category 4-5, Surge ($150.00 registration)
