Get into the Olympic Spirit

Here is the broadcast schedule for the US Olympic Team Trials for Swimming (Wave 2). Be sure to watch and take notes! :)
Watch our pal Abbas Karimi blaze through the water at the US Paralympic Trials 2021, which are streaming online daily. Abbas swam 50 Butterfly on Thursday, 50 Backstroke today, and will be in the 50 Freestyle on Saturday. Abbas was invited to swim as a guest since he would be on the Refugee Olympics team, so he swims only in the preliminary morning heats.

Practice Times

Be sure to check the Summer Practice Schedule to make sure you come at the correct time! Just a reminder that there are informal open water swims happening each Sunday at 8:00 am for whoever would like to participate. Contact Teammates Tyler Michael or Ellen Messerly to find out more details.

Teammate Tattle

Please keep teammate Jamie Mason in your thoughts and prayers as he is in the midst of daily radiation treatments for throat cancer. Despite the pain, Jamie continues to swim our practices, plus keeps up with his cycling, as much as possible. Please be sure to pass on a bit of encouragement to Jamie if you see him on deck.
