TEAM PRACTICE: 

We are practicing again, but to keep swimmers, coaches, and families safe, we are limiting practices. We hope to gradually increase the amount of pool time and days that swimmers can attend as restrictions due to the coronavirus are lifted. If you are a current team member and interested in returning to practice, contact Coach Sophia.

TEAM TRYOUTS:

If you are interested in joining the Tornadoes Swim Team, we hold tryouts in February/March for swimmers to start in April and July/August for swimmers to start in September (depending on the progression of COVID-19 in our area).
