Newsflash!

Well, rumors are going around about the coaching status, let me clarify those rumors for you.

First off, we are sad to see Ted Harris go. He was a great coach and will be missed greatly. So if you heard that he quit, that rumor would be TRUE!

Stepping into his shoes will be Nathan Whitaker, our assistant coach from the 2011-2012 season. He won't totally be the head coach, so let me explain. Last year some of the paperwork that the school needed was failed to turn in probably because information that needed to be passed on to Coach Ted wasn't passed along like it should have been. He isn't to blame since he didn't really have that big of a connection to the school. So we will have TWO head coaches! Officer Nielson will be leaving the school next year, it's true, but he will be in charge of all the necessary paperwork and turning it into the office and Coach Nate will be the coach that will be on deck.

Also coming to the team is a new Assistant Coach. Her name I have not obtained yet, but I know she's from the U so she's probably going to be quite the coach. We will have to see if she makes it or not, but we'd like to welcome her to the team.

I'd like to extend an invitation to all the team and all those who want to learn to swim as well, another member on the team and myself are currently attending Master's Class (lap swimming. It really isn't a class, but more of an opportunity to get some laps in) and we'd like to see more of the team come! If you'd like to come and join us, it's at the Clearfield Aquatic Center every Tuesday and Thursday night and begins at 9:00 and ends at 10:30 (we only go until 10:00), and the cost is general admission ($3 if you are anything below 18, $5 if you are 18). Please join us!

This upcoming season is already shaping out to be even better than the last! Just remember to keep recruiting those swim team members so that we can get a bigger team, which will aid in helping us win more meets. It doesn't matter if you know what you are doing or not! If you don't even have a clue what freestyle (the most used stroke) is, or if you are a pro at swimming in general, we'll teach you all the things you need to know about the most fun sport called swimming.
