Parent's Corner Your role as a parent is extremely important in the development of your child. We hope that you play an active role in his/her development as an athlete. If there is one thing we as coaches wish to encourage, it is parent involvement. Please get your swimmers to practice on time, be there to celebrate when they swim well, be there when they need a shoulder to cry on and volunteer when you can. This organization is only as strong as it's booster club! Thank you and let's have a great season!
