Welcome to the Windwood Warriors 2010 swim season! We invite all members in good standing (ages 4 - 18) to join our team. To qualify, a swimmer must have the ability to swim one length of the pool without stopping before the first meet, not the first practice. Last year there were kids who couldn’t swim a complete length in May, but worked hard and swam successfully! This year, our policy for our younger swimmers will ensure a good time for everyone: the coaches will evaluate our youngest swimmers and give them achievable goals. As they improve and are ready for competition, they will be given a competition readiness certificate. After that time, they are eligible to compete in meets.
Our coaching staff is in place and getting ready for our first practice. We are proud that ALL of our coaches are returning for another season. Our Head Coach is Mike Pellissier. In addition to teaching science at Lakota West, Mike is an assistant Lakota Swim Coach. Danielle Rodecker and Lindsay (Baumgartner) Six will be returning. We will add a new coach to our roster this year – check back to see who this will be! It is a credit to our team and our kids that we are able to continue to retain and recruit such a high quality group of coaches.
Swim Teams cannot function without parental involvement. There are many jobs available for all levels of commitment, so plan on helping out! You can sign up to help with concessions, timing, and scoring, or even train to become an official or turn judge. If you are willing to serve as an official, the team will pick up the tab for your training. If you are interested in becoming a certified official, contact
Vicki Weisbrod (759-1814/ vickiweisbrod@cinci.rr.com) for more information. No matter which jobs you choose, know that your participation is critical to the success of our team. New this year – teenage siblings will be able to receive volunteer service hours for working meets; forms will be available once the season has begun.
