About Us (cont'd)

 

Team Communication 

 

We strive to effectively communicate with the many families of our swim team and have several methods for doing so. We send Updates via e-mail, using the e-mail addresses provided at the time of registration. We have a very comprehensive website with additional information so be sure to add www.swimpr.org into your favorites and check this often. Each family has a folder in the Family File Folders. Important information will be placed in these as well as your swimmer’s ribbons, so it is your responsibility to check your Family File Folder at practice. Finally, the peg board located at the pool has the clipboards for signing up for swim meets and the Volunteer Job Chart.

 

 

Coaches 

 

The mission of our Team is to provide a safe, nurturing and fun environment while allowing each swimmer to achieve maximum growth as a competitive swimmer and as a person. Therefore, we have the largest coaching staff in Tucson to help us achieve this. Over the past eight years, Head Coach Stan Valacer has earned a fantastic reputation in the swim community for building a solid swim program. Under his leadership, we also have seven assistant coaches, which allow us to have two coaches per lane for our eight & under’s, as well as secondary coaches for our older age groups. Read about their many accomplishments by clicking on the (bio) link on the Coaching Staff page.

 

 

CITs (Coaches-in-Training)

 

This year, we have developed a new program, Coaches-in-Training (CITs). The focus of this program is to train the team’s more experienced swimmers that have a desire to share their experiences and expertise with the swimmers in groups 1-4. The CITs will receive guidance on coaching strategies from Coach Stan and their designated coaching supervisor as they provide assistance to the swimmers in their groups.
