ATTENTION GOLD, JV, JV+ AND PREP SWIMMERS: We will keep our current schedule until Saturday, June 8th. Starting the week of June 10, we will switch to our "summer schedule". Please help us by filling out this form by Tuesday, April 30th to select your practice time for 6/10-7/21. If we do not hear back from you, a group will be assigned.

FITTER AND FASTER CLINICS RETURN!: I am very excited to announce we will be welcoming back our friends from Fitter & Faster All Four Strokes Technique Camps on May 25 & 26 and June 15 & 16 at Willow Glen High School. The May clinics will be led by Olympian Santiago Grassi. We are still finalizing June’s clinician. Please keep in mind, our last Fitter & Faster camp sold out; we anticipate this camp will as well. I highly recommend signing up sooner than later to ensure your spot at this event.

There will be two sessions each day; one for 12 & unders and the other for ages 13 & over. The curriculum each day will be:

May 25: Fast Freestyle

May 26: Fast Backstroke

June 15: Fast Butterfly

June 16: Fast Breaststroke

12 & under: CLICK HERE for details and registration

13 & over: CLICK HERE for details and registration

If you have any questions about the clinic, email Michael Plantamura at [email protected].

SUMMER INFO: Our Summer Race Team registration is now open to all current members for the 6/10-7/21 session at Willow Glen (with classes on MW, TTh or M-Th at 9:15-10am, 3:15-4pm, 4-4:45pm, 4:45-5:30pm and 5:30-6:15pm.) Do not delay to get the first choice of classes!!!

SUMMER CAMPS AND LESSONS: Our summer programming is open and ready for registration. Besides private lessons, we also offer swim camp and junior lifeguard camp. Check out our programs here (also on the “swim lesson & camp” tab of the website.) There are many ways these programs can align with your regular swim team practice.

RENO MEET: Looking for a great meet to attend this summer? Come join us in mid-July at the July 12-14 Silver State Championship meet in Reno. This is a team travel meet for the JV+, Prep, Varsity and Senior swimmers (meaning they are chaperoned, work with coaches/chaperones to get their meals, have lodging, transportation and team apparel provided.) All Race Team, Gold and JV swimmers are welcome to attend with parent supervision. It is ok to have JV+, Prep, Varsity and Senior swimmers also attend with a parent and not be in the chaperoned “team travel” group. To learn more, check out the events page.

SAFE SPORT: USA Swimming Safe Sport staff is hosting Zoom trainings for parents, minor athletes in order for families to know about SafeSport and keeping our sport safe. These are optional, but important to keep everyone on the same page about safety and boundaries. All participants will need to register to attend training.

Parent Trainings:

· Wednesday, May 8 at 8:00 p.m. ET – Register

· Wednesday, June 5 at 8:00 p.m. ET – Register

Athlete Trainings (12-17 years old):

· Thursday, May 9 at 8:00 p.m. ET – Register

· Thursday, June 6 at 8:00 p.m. ET – Register

PRIVATE LESSONS: We have opened a lot of individual lessons over the next 6 weeks at WGHS. Check out the events page under “job signup”. Your account will be charged directly for the lessons. These are only for independent swimmers who are already on the team or joining soon. The coach is OUT of the water leading the lesson.
