IMPORTANT DATES

  • January 20th: No swim practice in observance of the holiday.

Looking Ahead:

  • March 15th: Koholo Swim Meet
    Mark your calendars for our biggest fundraiser of the year! The Koholo Swim Meet is an all-hands-on-deck event. We organize and staff this meet, and we need participation from every family to make it a success.

Kaholo Swim Meet Volunteering

Why volunteer? This meet offers great perks:

  • Be on deck while your child swims.

  • Convenient location close to the ferry, with ample parking and a nice campus in Tacoma.

  • Carpooling is available—we’re happy to help coordinate rides!

  • It's a fantastic meet for younger swimmers to gain experience while enjoying the support of the entire team.

If you’re ready to help, contact our volunteer coordinator at [email protected].

Additionally, we must fill the Safety Coordinator position on the board before this meet! If you’ve considered stepping into this role, now is the time. Let us know how you can help!

SUPPORT THE SEALS

Thriftway Receipts for the Seals
Support the team effortlessly! Drop off your Thriftway receipts in the wooden box in the pool lobby. Thriftway will donate 1% of your receipt total to the team. Here’s how it works:

  • Include your name and phone number on the receipt.

  • Receipts must be for purchases made in the last 12 months.

Thank you for helping us make every little bit count!

SAVE THE DATE

Save the Date: February 18th Movie Night
We’re hosting another movie night by donation! The final movie selection will be posted soon on our website and social media. Current top contenders are Andre and Shark Tale. Stay tuned for updates and bring the family for a fun evening!

WHY USA SWIM MEMBERSHIP MATTERS:

A message from the President:

Did you know USA Swim membership is a requirement for all team members, even those not competing? This membership ensures our team remains insured, which helps us keep rates lower for everyone. Without it, our insurance costs would rise significantly, impacting membership fees.

Thank you for your understanding and support in maintaining this vital aspect of our swim team operations.
