Parking and Warmups for Tomorrows meet

All Kingfish coming to the meet against CCSC tomorrow- warmup is at 8, meet starts at 8:45! 

All swimmers and their families MUST park in the Rockland Trust/Hannaford parking lot and NOT in the Kingsbury Club!  Additionally just a reminder because of the meet there will be NO regular practices held except for Seniors.

See you in the morning! 

Summer Meet Signup!


As we mentioned last week, we are excited to have the opportunity to swim in two upcoming dual meets right in our home pool! 

On Sunday morning, July 19, we will host Cape Cod Swim Club in place of Sunday morning practice for ALL groups.  Warmup will be at 8 with an 8:45a start time.  On Friday, July 24, we will host South Shore YMCA Strypers. Warmup is at 12 pm and a meet start time around 12:45.  For planning purposes know that these meets typically last no more than 2-3 hours.

Again, we have set up these meets for all swimmers, but we especially encourage our newer and younger members, and all REC swimmers, to participate! Races will be short and fun with ribbons for all.  The environment will be casual and primarily a way to introduce swimmers to the excitement of racing.

In order to participate, please email Lauren Brown directly at laurenlizzie@yahoo.com.  Simply provide your swimmer’s name, age, and whether they can participate in one or both meets. If only one please be sure to clarify the one they will be participating in.   Your swimmer will be entered in up to three age appropriate events, as well as at least one relay.

Please know in order to have these meets run successfully we need full parent participation in lines of volunteering, food donations, etc.  A signup genius will follow this email so please be on the lookout and signup to help!

Email Lauren with questions- look forward to seeing everyone there!

Last day of Competitive Practice has CHANGED!

The last day of practice for long course season has changed.   DEV and Age Groupers last day of practice for the season will be July 29th.   Last day of practice for Jr/Sr’s will be July 30th. 
The travel meet,  15-18 champs meet at Beverly and the meet at MIT will all be July 31-8/2 (8/3 for travel meet) and then we go on break for 2 weeks.   We will start back up for short course on 8/17 with practice schedule tbd.

This being said, registration is NOT live for 2015/2016 registration and will not be most likely until late in the first week of August.  I will send an email out when we go live.

Summer rec will stay the same as posted and finish up for their session on August 20 with practice days/times remaining the same for the balance of the session.

If anyone has any questions at all feel free to call or email.

Bring a Friend to Practice is Rescheduled!


Bring a Friend to practice has been rescheduled to Wednesday July 22nd which is 2 weeks from tomorrow.

Again, please have your DEV and AG swimmer tell their friend to bring their invitation with them filled out with parents names, phone and email on back.  On the 22nd those will be handed into their respective coaches and “friends” will be allowed to participate and swim the  practice from 4-6p.

When your swimmer signs in at the front desk that day just have them let staff know that their friend is coming in for a Kingfish practice.

Any questions give me a call at 774-766-9063 or email me.

Summer Dual Meets

Calling all Kingfish! We are excited that we’ve been able to schedule two dual meets with local teams in July; these meets will have the same feeling and excitement as the SSSL meets we’ve competed in in the past. On Sunday morning, July 19, we will compete against Cape Cod Swim Team, and on Friday afternoon, July 24 we will compete against South Shore YMCA Strypers. The primary goal will be fun, shorter races to give especially our newer and younger swimmers opportunities to compete. These meets are open to the whole team, and we encourage our Rec team swimmers to participate! We will have ribbons and prizes for all!

We will need help and participation from parents to make these meets happen, so please save the dates and be on the lookout for a Sign Up Genius early next week. 

Happy 4th of July!

Bring a Friend to Practice is Cancelled

Due to the fact that bad weather and storms are predicted for most of the day today we will be cancelling “Bring a Friend to Practice” this afternoon.  

At this time DEV and AG will still have their regularly scheduled practice unless the pool closes due to the weather but currently it is too early in the day to determine that.
