Storm Families,


We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and spent quality time with family and friends. Here at Storm, swimming is secondary to helping role model good citizens and leaders of the community!! We have had a lot of fun welcoming our Alumni back to practices and seeing all our kids grow into great adults.


It is back to work, getting ready for our mid-season meets now that the holiday is over. As usual, with this time of the year, there are many things on our plates, so please use this newsletter as a central place to find information. This has been a great addition to the team to make an effort to streamline communication into one place.


As a reminder, our website is also an excellent forum for information if you take the time to go through it. Our Parent Committee Leadership also holds monthly Zoom calls that anyone on the team can participate in. The information and Zoom links are on our website for easy access under the Parent Info tab.


Thank you,

Coach Mary
