Program Info:
You need to be registered to participate. We will practice the first day. Practice will be Monday thru Thursday 2:45-4:45pm. Friday's 2:45-4:30pm. No practice on no school days.
Eligibility: Boys and girls, in grades 5-8, that did NOT swim on the high school team.
Coach/Team purpose: We coach/lead/participate with positivity and a strong work ethic to create a fun and respectful team environment.
Spring season overlap: There is an overlap of our season with the end of the boys basketball season and the start of the spring sports season. We will make a plan with boys basketball and spring sports athletes about how to finish out the swim/dive season and start up the spring sport season.
Swim or Dive: There are some athletes that will want to only swim or only dive. We are able to let the athletes try both, but are not able to have them all diving at once. We will rotate through the kids that want to try diving.
Volunteer Coaches: We have a lot of kids at many different levels of ability. We want to be able to meet the kids where they are and help them progress. As such, we will have volunteer peer coaches on the pool deck helping out. These peer coaches are a part of our high school team.
Meets: Meet (competition) info will come closer to the season start.
Middle School Swim & Dive Coaches:
This season for Swim & Dive we are using BAND for up to date communications with parents and athletes.
HMS Swim & Dive: BAND App Invite
Varsity (High School) team info:
How we choose what team they will go on:
5/6th gr will be on middle school. They are not allowed to swim up until 7th grade.
7/8th will be invited up to swim/dive on varsity if they meet the criteria to join the varsity team. Please reach out to Coach Katie McAlpin for more info. Varsity girls swim starts Aug 12th. The varsity program is in a different season. Girls are fall and boys are winter. More info on the varsity programs in the links below.
Varsity girls program click here: HS Girls Swim/Dive
Varsity boys program click here: HS Boys Swim/Dive
The goal is to help build our program by bringing in more 5/6th graders to a learning level of completive swimming & diving. We want the middle school program to learn to swim and dive and the high school program to learn to race and compete.
