The season is quickly approaching. We will be starting in one more week. Welcome again to all the new and returning swimmers and divers. This is going to be an amazing season! I hope everyone had an enjoyable summer. Our first practice will be Monday, August 25 from 5:30-7:00am. Can’t wait to see everyone there! If you are a diver, your first practice will be Tuesday, August 26 from 5:30-7:00am. Please check the attached PDF calendar (updated as of August 18) for more information about swim & dive practice times.

Since August 25 is the first day for freshman at HNA, and our first AM swim practice. We will be sure to give them plenty of time to get ready for the day after practice. We will also ask an upperclassman to help anyone who is taking bus 48 to HNA. Your captains are working on setting up carpools so that after Labor Day everyone will know how they are getting to practice, school, or meets.

Please register on Swimtopia. (www.holynames.swimtopia.com), again the swimmer/diver should register and a parent should also register. The information you add to Swimtopia helps me fill out meet entries during the season. I have added the registration form on the Swimtopia website. Thanks.

We have a few more pre-season events happening this week. The captains are hosting captain practices on Tuesday and Friday. More information can be found on Swimtopia and SWIVE Instagram. We also have our Family Potluck Picnic this Saturday at Lincoln Park, Shelter 4 on the water from 11-2pm. Below are the items each grade is bringing:

Freshman families: side dishes

Sophomore families: beverages

Junior families: desserts

Senior families: side dishes
