Welcome to the Holy Names 2025 Swim & Dive Season!
Welcome to the Holy Names Swim & Dive Team! I’m thrilled to begin this season with such a talented and enthusiastic group of young women. Whether you’re a returning athlete or joining us for the first time, I want to personally welcome you to the team and thank you for being part of our SWIVE (Swim & Dive) family.
As your head coach, my goal is not only to help each swimmer grow athletically, but also to foster a supportive team culture built on hard work, accountability, and mutual respect. Swimming is a sport that demands dedication, resilience, and teamwork—and I’m confident this group will rise to the challenge and create something special together.
Throughout the season, we’ll focus on individual improvement, team bonding, and a positive mindset both in and out of the pool. Our practices will be challenging, but they’ll be balanced with encouragement, fun, and celebration of progress—big or small.
Parents and guardians, your support is vital. Whether you're cheering in the stands, volunteering at meets, or simply helping your athlete manage her schedule, we truly appreciate all you do. Communication will be key, so please look out for regular updates on practice times, meet schedules, team events, and more.
This season, let’s aim high, push past comfort zones, and support each other every step of the way. I’m looking forward to getting to know each of you and watching our swimmers grow in confidence, strength, and spirit.
We have a few activities planned to help get the girls excited and prepared for the season. Captains have organized a beach day to motivate and encourage team bonding. Captains are also providing captain’s practices (new this season). I cannot be at those practices as a coach, in line with WIAA rules. And captain’s practices are not official HNA activities. Lastly, before the season starts, we will be having a Family Potluck Picnic at a beachside shelter at Lincoln Park with activities for the swimmers. See the Calendar tab for the days, times, and locations of all the planned activities.
Let’s make it a great season—Go Cougars!
