COaches' Letter
Parents, Guardians, Swimmers,
We’d like to welcome our swim families for another fun summer. Although we have transitioned to a new swim league, our dedication and love for our swimmers will remain unchanged. This transition will allow us to have more team bonding time and fun activities for our swimmers this summer. We are excited for what this summer will bring, and we hope you are too.
Swim Practices:
Swimmers will be assigned to groups based on skill level at the discretion of the coaching staff. It is possible for swimmers to move from one skill group to another as they progress. A coach will discuss progress and any potential group changes with parents prior to moving swimmers. Swimmers will still compete according to their age group. Initial group assignments will be emailed prior to the first practice.
All swimmers should arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of their practice. First practice needs to help prepare the pool in the morning before practice begins. The last practice must help put everything away to prepare to open for members after practice each day. Please pick swimmers up promptly at the end of their practice time.
Practice times:
May 31- June 16
4:30-6:00 Sharks (Mon-Fri)
5:45-7:00 Seahorses/Sea Turtles (Mon-Thurs)
5:45-6:30 Guppies (Tues & Thurs Only)June 19- July 28
7:30-9:30 Sharks
9:15-10:15 Guppies
10:15-11:30 Sea Horses
11:15-12:30 Sea Turtles
Vacations or Absences: In order to get the most out of the season we ask swimmers to attend at least four practices a week. However, we realize this is not always possible. If you have scheduled vacations or know a swimmer is going to be absent, just let us know in advance via swimmer registration form or written note.
Prior to the start of each new week, sign out sheets for meets will be posted by the kitchen door. Parents are expected to add their swimmer’s name to the list if they will not be participating in that meet. It is important that coaches have an early, reliable headcount of who is available to attend each meet to make the line up for that meet.
Additional Information:
- Swim caps are required for both girls and boys; latex or silicone are preferred. If you need a swim cap, please ask during practices. Girls need to wear a one-piece suit for practice.
- If the weather is not favorable during the morning hours and adjustments to the practice schedule are made, a message will be sent out via Game Changer first and then will be posted on the team Facebook page.
- Stretching before any workout is essential. Older swimmers should stretch out upon arrival at 7:15AM before entering the pool. Younger kids are asked to arrive 15 minutes prior to their scheduled time so coaches can lead their stretches. Please make sure swimmers arrive on time!
- Please come to practice prepared with the following items: swim cap, goggles, water bottle, inhaler (if needed), and a towel.
- It is important to find swim goggles that fit comfortably and work well. Please bring a spare pair whenever possible.
Code of Conduct:
✦ There will be zero tolerance for disrespect toward coaches or other swimmers. We expect that all swimmers treat coaches, parents, and swimmers with respect. Unacceptable behavior (talking back, refusing to do sets, giving coaches an attitude) will not be tolerated.
✦ We are here to help you improve and therefore swim practice is for swimming, not fooling around. Unacceptable behavior that prevents us from doing our job will not be tolerated.
✦ We expect you to exhibit good sportsmanship, both during practice and meets. Examples include swimming events you may not like without complaining, showing respect for your fellow teammates, maintaining a positive attitude, and exhibiting team spirit.
✦ You are always racing against the clock, not the person swimming next to you! Please try your best and always give 110 percent!
We want to thank you in advance for your interest and participation in the Newfield Swim Team. Together all coaches will work with your child to improve their strokes while fostering a fun environment where they can enjoy the summer sun! If there is anything we can do to help you or your child, do not hesitate to contact a swim mom. We look forward to your questions, feedback, and conversation!

Faith began coaching for the Newfield Narwhals in the fall 2020. Coach Faith is currently studying Health and Science Communication at Rowan University.
