Hello Hurricane Families, It's time again to revisit the way our team is handling priviledges in the locker rooms. I know first hand that many of our athletes have taken to heart some of our earlier conversations about being good citizens and guests at Wulf, and being good ambassadors of the Hurricanes wherever we go. I regulary find myself proud of the way individual athletes engage with one another, and with others we come into contact with. I often notice our athletes tidying up after our group unprovoked, and acting...

Hello Hurricanes Families, I hope everyone had a great weekend. The Hurricanes who competed at the FAST / CUDA / EVER Tri meet this weekend did fantastic job opening up our long course season by swimming best times in 89% of our races! That is a huge number for our very first time in a long course pool this season! I'm always reminding swimmers that daily progress is hard to see in our sport. It rarely feels like you are getting better in the moment, so you have to put...

Hello Hurricanes Families, Here are just a couple of quick updates for the middle of this week. Thanks a lot! Coach Brian Category 1 Fins We have highly recommended that each swimmer in Categories 2 and up purchase the Arena Powerfin Pro (available here). I apologize that I created some confusion among Category 1 families about their fins, particularly since many Cat 1 swimmers have not yet grown into the Arena fins. Here is a little more clarity: For now, our community stock of smaller sized fins is holding up...

Hello Hurricanes Families, I hope everyone is feeling back on track after a week of spring break catch up and recovery! In the pool, we are easing back into our next challenging training cycle this spring. Right now our practices consist of a little bit of work, a little bit of fun, and a huge emphasis on establishing some new and better habits before we get back to training our hardest. Spring is a good time for a fresh start, and our temporary reprieve from training intensity is an outstanding...

Hello Hurricanes Families, Please take a few minutes to read and consider this call to action about our responsibilities as a team competing in local meets. Consider carefully how you can update your habits to help our team be a positive part of the swimming community! The reason I'm communicating about this right now is that our team has, lately, been relying heavily on a small number of families to satisfy all of our timing requirements, with some of them timing for up to 12 hours in a single weekend....
