The Swim Team Committee has been busy getting ready for the start of the
2014 Cherokee Swim Season. We are excited to see all our returning swimmers and to meet our new Swim Team families!
The Cherokee Swim Team is a fun and laid back program that is open to swimmers of all ages and various amounts of time commitments. It is made up of children and grandchildren of Cherokee members ages 3-18. If you are a seasoned Swim Team member; if you would like to swim with our Feeder Program to the Swim Team, which is available for our youngest swimmers around ages 3-5; if you have never swam with a team but would love to improve your swimming, have fun, and meet new friends; or if you are a high school student who likes to swim, is good with kids, and is looking for some community service hours…
The Cherokee Swim Team is the right place for you!!
The Swim Team Kickoff Party and Meeting is Monday, May 12th- 5:30- 6:30 at the pool. The event is open to all Cherokee families and grandchildren of Cherokee members who are interested in the Swim Team or in the Feeder Program. We will have dinner for all, lots of information about the program, and a fitting opportunity for new team swim suits. Weather permitting the pool will be open early, just for our event. Please RSVP your families’ attendance to the Swim Team email account:cherokeeccswimteam@gmail.com
We are very pleased that our Head Coach, Ben Contessa, will be back coaching again with us this year. We are also excited to announce our two new Assistant Coaches, Mary Kate Heagerty and Drew Freeman. Mary Kate has swum on the Cherokee Swim Team since she was young and has helped coach our Feeder Program in years past. Drew has been a life guard for Cherokee for several years and has been swimming competitively since he was young. Please check out all three coaches’ bios below!
Here is our current Swim Team schedule. There will also be many more social activities added as the season progresses. We will keep you updated in the bulletin, via email, and on the Cherokee website. We’d love the support of all Cherokee members to help make this year be our best Swim Team and pool season yet!
