Requests

If you are the parent of a Pre-Team swimmer and have a special request or a special need for your swimmer - please let us know. We will try to honor all requests, but all coaching from our senior swimmers is on a voluntary basis. Our primary goal is to get all pre-team swimmers comfortable in the water.
