Athletes of the week

Each week the coaches select three athletes (or a group) who have stood out as a Rocket athlete during the week at practices and competitions! They are announced as our Athletes of the Week and their picture goes up on this blog and in the pool! Look for our AOWs throughout the season!

A big Thank You to all of our parent volunteers for helping out with our team triathlon! You went above and beyond in keeping our Rockets safe! Thanks for encouraging them in the pool, along the bike route and on the track!


Congratulations to all triathlon finishers! Your efforts and team spirit were inspiring!

Our team got muddy for a good cause! 

Our duties included, but were not limited to: check-in and out table, obstacle demonstration and assistance, course guides and finish line greeters!

Thanks for giving back to others! You shared lots of smiles and encouraging words to the Mud Run participants. 


Rocket swimmers and divers you are making a difference!

  • Mark your calendars - Meet the 2016 Rockets and informational parent meeting at 6pm  on Thursday, Aug. 11th, in the pool parking lot area for all athletes and their families.  We do have a potluck dinner prior to the meeting, so we ask you to bring a dish to pass and a lawn chair. Lots of important info and fees collected at meeting.
