Coach Appreciation
13/14s and 15/18s, and Rugrats are up for Coach Appreciation this week. One day this week, please send your swimmer to practice with a card, a drink (our coaches love coconut water), sun screen, and/or simply a thank you for the coaches! Pick any day that week that works best for your family.

Click here to bring the coaches coffee or lunch. (We have a big staff, so we recommend teaming up with another family.)
Buddies
This week’s buddy suggestion is to bring your buddy a refreshing drink. Click here weekly suggestions for the season.
HOX Last Chance Meet
Towards the end of each swim season, Blackhawk hosts a “Last Chance Meet” – an opt in meet open to any swimmer. Swimmers from the region can swim to improve seed times, earn a county time or just have one more splash in the pool. The meet is fast, fun and exciting.
This is not a Rudgear-sponsored meet; however, you can register your swimmers and attend if they want some extra swims. Rudgear is not able to help you register or answer questions about the meet as we are not hosting it– please send any questions to h[email protected].
Lessons
Lessons are available! We post all the coach’s sign-up links on our website (click here); however, it is the coaches’ responsibility to update their sign-ups, set prices, receive payment, etc.
We have 200 swimmers on our team, so please be considerate when booking lessons. We don't want one swimmer having three lessons per week and another left with none.
Please note: Swimmers may only sign up for one lesson per week with Coach Nick. If you sign up for multiple lessons for one swimmer, the earlier lesson will stay on his schedule and the remainder for the week will be deleted. Only team swimmers should sign up for lessons with Coach Nick. Rugrats should sign up with any other coach.
