Storm Forecast for August 29th, 2024

Michael White

Welcome Storm families, to the last few quiet days before the start of the 2024-2025 season!

We’re excited about new families, new facilities, and new programs offered this year as we continually try to provide a great experience for your swimmer and your entire family.

Week Zero

We’ll start the season Tuesday for swimmers that began this summer or fall.

New Thunderstorm

TPC Wisconsin

T,W,R,F 5:00-5:45P

New Everyone Else

TPC Wisconsin

T,W,R,F 5:45-6:30P

 As you wonder “What’s TPC Wisconsin?” – it’s the former Cherokee Country Club.  Directions for this pool and all our facilities are on our website.

Fall Dryland

As our friends at Train608 are working through some roommate issues, we’ve pivoted a bit towards one of our best pre-COVID partners in JJ’s Boxing.  They’ll be handling dryland for our Cyclone, Tsunami, Typhoon, Senior, and Performance groups.  No, they won’t be sparring each other—ever.  JJ’s does a lot of work on strength and agility—“land muscles.”  Admittedly, something that most of our year-round athletes struggle with.  Athletes that attended JJs in the past have seen gains in strength, agility, endurance, coordination, and CONFIDENCE. 

JJ’s has set up an agreement where our swimmers will sign up for sessions as they want to attend, and not have to pay for the days they don’t attend.  The price: $5 per session!

Monday and Friday: 5-6pm, Typhoon, Senior, Performance
Wednesday: 5-6pm, Cyclone, Tsunami, Typhoon

We will start these sessions on Wednesday the 4th to help our swimmers get some of those first week school jitters out before hitting the water the following week.

Sign up at this link (also one of the big buttons on our home page).  Use promo code: SWIMFAST24 to pay the $5 rate.

Practice Begins Sept 9th

We’ll start our regular practice schedule on the 9th.  The Google Calendar has all practice dates added through the 19th of October, at which point we plan to go inside.  If things are looking rough and we’ll need to adjust earlier, we may move to the 12th—it depends entirely on how kind Mother Nature is being.

If you’ve not added your group’s practice calendar and competition calendar to YOUR calendar, you’ll want to subscribe to keep aware of an ever-changing schedule.

Finally, check your swimmer’s bag to make sure they have everything they’re supposed to for the first day.

  

Simply Swimming

If you missed the suit fitting day, Simply Swimming has set up a full swimmer portal for us on their website.  You’ve got a little over two weeks to get in on the early season order.  This includes the custom swim camps, which are limited time orders.

Summer Meeting Recaps

If you missed the New Family meeting, we’ve got a recording of it and the slideshow.  We have the slideshow viewable for the State of the Team.  All those documents can be found here.

Social Media
