What can we do in the final months of our short course season to be the best we...

Team Apparel Store This link will be live until September 29th. These items will obviously not be here for the first meet, but they will be ready by our meet in October. Some people also like to get a Christmas gift checked off the list early! It is preferred that each swimmer wear a t-shirt at the meets. Especially younger athletes. You are also welcome to purchase other winter-related items to prepare for the season. https://velocitymaryland.chipply.com/AquaCultureSwimSteam/

Heading into another week of swimming! I hope school is going well and I have enjoyed meeting and working with some of our new athletes! I have a few things to share. Motivation As we prepare for our first Intrasquad meet and USA Meet for the top 3 groups in a couple weeks, I want to go over some things we are doing to help motivate the swimmers. As some of you know, USA Swimming is more of an individual activity. Team-scored events do not really exist, relays are scarce,...

Volunteering requirements will be determined by approximated hours. Considering most meets will be about 3 hours. One half...
