Excel Extra 6-2-23

Let's start with exciting news: we are thrilled to welcome Coach Porter, our new SwimStrong Dryland Coordinator. With an impressive track record, Porter has been involved with SwimStrong Dryland (SSDL) since its inception by Eric Hudson in 2013. His in-depth knowledge and understanding of the program are invaluable assets and we're looking forward to having Porter's seasoned guidance as we dive into our summer schedule.

Updated Dryland Schedules

We want to remind everyone that most of the dryland schedules have been updated. Please take a moment to review these changes and adjust your calendars accordingly. Keeping up-to-date with the training schedule is key to ensuring that your swimmer maximizes their potential and doesn't miss out on any of the planned activities.

Want to become an official?

All of our parent volunteers play a vital role in hosting meets. We simply could not host meets in your absence. While most jobs take little training or experience, meet officials go through an educational and training process that enables them to help officiate at all meets. In fact, our own Excel officials have outnumbered the host team officials in both our first two meets. We are very grateful to our officiating crew but are always looking for new members.
