Email Sent To Previous Swimmers March 10, 2021:
Swim Parents,
Over the past year, our community and the TAC program have had life turned on its head. With vaccines rolling out and schools and organizations having a better idea of how we can all stay safe, we think there is a path to have swimmers safely return to the pool for the summer season. This email will give everyone an idea of what has happened over the past few months, and what a tentative plan is going forward.
here are two major changes (besides COVID) that have happened since the end of the 2019-2020 winter season. The first is that Coach Patty has retired from coaching TAC. While we are happy for Patty to get some time back for her family, she is going to be sorely missed on the pool deck.
The other big change that has happened, is that TAC is no longer under the umbrella of the school district. When Mr. Guyer started TAC in the 80’s, age group sports were not as common as they are now, and the team was set up under the school district. TAC was the only age-group sport that was left under the district, a fact that largely flew under the RADAR. Additionally, as far as we can tell, all other local swim teams are not officially related to their schools.
With these two major changes, a group of parent volunteers got together to ensure that there would continue to be a TAC program. The two major tasks that needed to be completed were for a non-profit entity to be set up, and a coach to be selected. We are happy to announce that both of these actions have been completed, and we are optimistic we will be returning to the pool soon.
First of all, Heidi Royer has agreed to be head coach for the summer season. With all the change happening, we are happy to have Heidi’s consistency. For those that don’t know Coach Heidi, she has been a fixture on the TAC coaching staff for a long time, and the kids all know her well.
Second of all, the TAC non-profit organization has been set up, and some of the critical tasks are being completed now. We have an interim board that is committed to getting the season kicked off, and will then hold open elections for volunteers. We are working items like setting a budget, scheduling pool time, and getting insurance. There is still plenty to do, and more help is welcome.
While we are waiting for confirmation from CASL (our league), we are hopeful that they will soon decide on a path forward that will include meets.
The items we need help from all of you on are the following. First of all, if you think you are interested in having your child(ren) compete this summer, please go to the TAC website at www.trojanaquaticclub.org At this point we are trying to gage interest in swimming, so we can plan things out. Next, please let us know, through the website, if you are interested in volunteering, and if so, what areas you are interested in. We need board members, meet volunteers, and committee members.
We are all excited to be involved in swimming again, in whatever form that is. We hope you all are as excited as we are.
Thanks,
Denise Bates
