Meet our New Head Coach and other Information
Hello Tsunami Family!
It is hard to believe that we will begin practices in just 2 short weeks! A lot has been happening behind the scenes to get this season underway and we are very excited to announce that we have a new Head Coach! We would like to welcome Kelly Shipley to our Tsunami Family.
Kelly has been coaching all levels of swimming since 2008. Her coaching background includes head girls swim coach for both Longmont High School and Erie High School (with a state championship title 2018). USA swim coach (and level 2 ASCA coach) for the Longmont Redtails as well as private lessons for many years. Kelly has been a competitive swimmer since she was 5 years old, and she is still swimming! She has competed on a year round team most of her life, enjoyed water polo, survived Ironman 2019, participated in Masters Swimming and several marathon swims. Kelly’s favorite aspect of swimming is sharing the love of the sport with others through coaching. She is very excited to join the Tsunami family and looks forward to meeting you all soon!
Additionally, I wanted to send a few quick reminders for upcoming dates.
5/6/21- Deadline to order swim suits and gear through out of breath. Please use this link to order your items if you would like them to arrive prior to the first meet. https://outofbreathsports.tuosystems.com/stores/knolls2021
5/10/21- Registration opens on Swimmingly to register your child to swim. I will be sending a follow up email with all those links and instructions because there is a lot of information involved and I didn't want it to get lost in this one.
5/17/21- First Day of Practice (Afternoon) Please see the website for the practice times for your kiddos
We are still looking for volunteers as a Concessions Lead. We simply cannot run a meet without this position being filled- Cindy M. has agreed to assist and train this year on this position- but we need your help! Please let us know if you are interested in this position.
Thank you to all of you who have signed up for the various volunteer positions, and we can't wait to see you at the pool!
Jaime, Andrea, Trevor and Trish
Your 2021 Parent Reps
