Hurricanes Swim
Team
The Hurricanes Swim Team has been a part of the Milwood
neighborhood since 1983 when the team was founded at the Hunters
Chase pool. The Hurricanes moved to the Rattan Creek
pool in 1987. The Hurricanes are part of the Northwest
Swim Circuit which is made up of 12 competitive swimming teams from
Steiner Ranch to Georgetown. Over 200 girls and boys
from the ages of 4 to 17 practice daily in the Rattan Creek pool
starting in early May and continuing through early
July. Competitive swim meets are held weekly on Saturday
mornings at the Rattan Creek pool and other Northwest Swim Circuit
team pools. The Hurricanes invite swimmers and their
families to explore this website and find out more about this
exciting sport.
The mission of the Hurricanes Swim Team is to make the summer
swimming program an
enjoyable and constructive experience for your children. The team
is a structured recreational
activity where your child can learn the value of competition,
sportsmanship and teamwork, as well
as individual achievement, making new friends and having fun.
There are twelve teams in the Northwest Swim Circuit (NWSC). The
NWSC follows accepted
rules and standards of USA Swimming, as well as rules and
procedures designed specifically to
meet the needs of this circuit and its member teams.
The degree of competitive spirit and enthusiasm varies widely from
team to team. The Hurricanes
strive to attain a positive balance between healthy competition and
fun. While we do not think
winning is everything, it is fun to win, and that is why hard work,
regular practice, and selfdiscipline
are all goals of our summer program.
There are no ’losers" on the Hurricanes. Swimmers at all
levels are welcome. With a positive
program made up of positive members and parents, we’ll have a
great season!
