Warson Woods Hurricanes

Swim Team and Pre-Swim practices will start Tuesday, May 27 and end July 11. *Note - Pre-Swim will start the same day as Swim Team - this is a change from previous years when Pre-Swim started the following week.

SWIM TEAM

Swim Team will practice 5 days a week, Monday through Friday.

Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday and the first 2 Tuesdays (May 27 and June 3):

• 8:15-9:15 AM - swimmers aged 8 & Under
• 9:15-10:15 AM - swimmers aged 9 & Over 

The remaining 5 Tuesdays (June 10, 17, 24, July 1, 8):

• 9-10 AM - all Swim Team

Tuesdays after swim meets are a team fun day called "Donut Day". We'll discuss the previous night's swim meet results, eat donuts, and have fun with our teammates!  

PRE-SWIM

Pre-Swim will be held Monday through Friday from 10:15-10:45, with each swimmer attending 2 or 3 sessions each week.  

Pre-Swim registration is open now, but practice groups will be assigned starting May 1 through a SignUpGenius (the link will be emailed, posted on the team website, and posted on Instagram).  You can sign up to be a "Blue Fish" or "Green Fish" and attend the days of the week that work best for you - either Monday/Wednesday/everyotherFriday or Tuesday/Thursday/everyotherFriday.  See below for more information about Pre-Swim.

Pre-Swim is a swim lesson program taught by the swim team coaches for younger swimmers (usually 4 to 6 years old) who have some beginning swimming experience but are not ready for swim team. If you are interested in Pre-Swim, please send an email to [email protected] telling us of your interest.

We realize you might be trying to determine if your swimmer is ready for swim team or not. All members of swim team must be able to swim a full lap of the pool safely. If you have a young swimmer that is “borderline”, you are invited to an assessment with Coach Lily on April 19, 2025 from 4:30-5:30 at Goldfish Swim School.  Sign up to attend here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeZ6ZC53p.... 

Coach Lily will observe your swimmer to determine if they can safely participate in swim team.  We understand that many young swimmers regress in their swimming skills over the winter. Our goal is safety for all of the swimmers.  Many Pre-Swimmers will "graduate" to Swim Team season and be able to swim in swim meets!

Pre-swimmers should be water safe. This program is for children who have limited swim skills, who may not swim with their face down, or may only be able to swim underwater. We will focus on basic swim skills, safety skills, rhythmic breathing, kicking, and arm strokes. Pre-swimmers will learn the skills necessary to become eligible for the Swim Team. At the end of the season, Pre-Swim Program participants receive a special award to celebrate their progress during the the Awards Banquet.
