Spring is coming and that means we will be shifting focus soon -- from short course to long course training and meets! The team will compete in the final short course (25 yard) meet of our regular season at the Southern Divisional Championship in Savannah on March 20-22. After Divisional Championship, we'll come back for a week of team celebrations during our practices the week of March 23-26 before we all head out on spring break! There will be no practices March 27 through April 5th. We will resume training, with the addition of long course (50m) practice opportunities on Saturday mornings beginning April 6th. Please download the Spring Long Course Training calendar as some practice times will shift to ensure the best training opportunities for our swimmers during long course training season! Cat 1s and 2s will continue to train in short course format through the spring so they can develop their technique while building their conditioning. Cat 3, 4, and 5 should plan to attend Saturday morning practices to maximize their long course training opportunities during this spring. As we move into the summer, the coaches will add in more morning long course training opportunities for their swimmers in Cat 2-5, so keep an eye out for updates and the summer practice schedule! We have also released our initial Long Course Meet calendar for April through the end of July. These meets are for Category 2-5. Cat 1 swimmers are encouraged to participate in the Tiger Shark summer meets to continue short course meet practice! (Tiger Shark dates and info coming soon!) As a reminder - our team calendars are always available on our Hurricane Year-Round Team page -- scroll down to the calendar tabs and select the tab for Long Course (Spring) to ensure you always have the latest version!

Based on the projected schedule at the Columbus Aquatic Center for November, we are shifting our November away meet weekend to better align our practice days and meet days. Please see the updated Meet Calendar on the Hurricanes Team Program Page for changes. Not sure if a particular meet is a good option for your swimmer? The meet calendar has the coaches' recommendations based on their practice group, but you are also encouraged to speak with your coach regarding your swimmer's specific goals.
