To All Arapahoe Warrior Boys and Girls Swimmers and Divers

I hope everyone has had a safe and relaxing summer!

With school starting next week, I think we are all looking forward to not only a more normal academic school year, but a normal athletic school year as well. While summer has certainly gone by fast, and both our girls and boys seasons are still months away respectively, it is never too early to get back in the pool to start preparing for a productive and fast year of swimming.

New for 2021 - I will be coaching swimming with the Warrior Aquatics Swim and Water Polo program along with coaches: Christine Maybee, Randy Hyre, Jeff Brouk, and Mike Mann.

The Warrior Aquatics program is one that will help prepare you for peak performances during your high school season. We encourage both the AHS Girl's and Boy’s swimmers to participate! (Divers are welcome to come swim as well...one never knows when they may be called up to swim in a relay or individual event)

We are also inviting middle school students to join as well. If you have a brother, sister, neighbor, or friend in middle school and they would like to swim, we would be happy to have them.

Training / practice recommendations: Ideally, you will swim 3-5 times per week.

Benefits - technique work, progressive/gradual endurance development, injury prevention, getting to know your teammates and being “swimming fit” when the high school swim season begins.

Please see the Swimming registration form below for more information

Another Option is Joining the Water Polo Club

The Colorado High School competitive water polo season is during the fall athletic season. Water Polo matches are played on Sunday’s against other schools. For more detailed information, please see the Water Polo registration form below.

For those that are curious or interested, here is a little background on the Warrior Aquatics Swimming and Water Polo program...these programs are actually Club sponsored activities at Arapahoe High School run by Warrior Aquatics. Of course, we are seeking students from the Arapahoe Boys and Girls swimming and diving teams first, however it is also open to other students at Arapahoe High School and other schools. Our number one focus is trying to build the Arapahoe Swimming program with Arapahoe students.

We will be starting on August 23rd for both the Swimming and Water Polo programs. The High School Swimming program will end on October 22nd. After that, Coach Richmond will start his preseason clinic on October 25th where both the Boys and Girls High School swimmers from the Warrior Aquatics program have the option to join that program. The middle school program will continue for an additional 3 weeks.

For more detailed information for each program, please see the following registration forms to be sent out to the Boys and Girls Teams and posted to the website, as well. If you have an issue sending them out please let me know as they are links to a Google form.
