Attention Parents and Swimmers,
You may have already heard that we are excited yet saddened to announce Vlad’s acceptance of a great opportunity as a Head Coach of an international swim team. While he is sad to leave he knows this is a once in a lifetime opportunity that he simply cannot let pass him by. We appreciate the six years he spent as our Head Coach and wish him well in all his future endeavors. He will be sorely missed.

We want to assure you that we are doing everything to make this transition as seamless as possible and are currently working hard to find a new and highly qualified Head Coach to take over our swim team. The Seahawks have always been a strong and unified team and this will not change. We are looking for you to finish your swim season as strong or even stronger than you have started. Put to use all Vlad has taught you and show everyone what our team is capable of. Work your hardest, beat your times, set high records and reach your goals! We are here to support you! While we are actively looking for a Head Coach to replace Vlad, I, Nadia will be taking over as Head Coach until one is found. Our coaching staff will be staying and life will go on as usual. Life is ever-changing and we need to adjust accordingly. We appreciate your understanding and support at this time. Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

We would also like to invite you to a farewell party for Vlad we will be holding in the Bingo Hall on Monday, January 25 at 6:30 pm. Bronze group will have a regular practice and all other groups will start at 5:30 and end at 7 pm. We will provide sandwiches, pizza and soda but please feel free to bring something if you would like.

Thank you again for all your support and see you at the party.
Nadia
