Hello All,

Congratulations on a very successful championship season!  We will soon finish the summer season with a 2 week stroke clinic starting on August 17th.  We will continue to follow the summer schedule.  Looking forward to a great fall and winter season, which we will roll right into on August 31, switching over to the school year schedule at that point.


For meets, we have posted on our homepage the weekends that we will tentatively attend meets.  Remember, everyone on the Competitive team is expected to compete at MOST of the meets.  Anyone on the Recreational team is allowed to compete in meets but they have to email Coach Craft with which ones they want.  Remember, meets are entered and paid for about 2 months ahead of time.  Another date to remember is that the bubble will be going up the week of Sep 14th so the practice schedule may change that week.


A huge thank you to Max Butler and Abby Mullen for the time they spent coaching at Kingfish.  Abby is going to pursue her Nursing Degree and Max has accepted a teaching and coaching job out in western Mass.  I am sure we will still get to see them from time to time around the pool.  Exciting options for them and we wish them the best of luck.  

We have been very lucky to find a wonderful coach to step in that is ready, willing and able to kick off our 2015/16 short course season with us!

Brian Keane has been the head Age Group coach with Black Rock Country Club for the past 5 years.  He swam 6 years under Coach Craft on Kingfish and still holds the 200 Free team record!  We are in the interview process to fill Abby’s position at the moment.  A number of great candidates are in queue.

Lets welcome Brian and wish Max and Abby the very best as we go into another great winning season!
