Swimmer of the Week! #11

Hello hello! Welcome back to 18W to the team, and a Happy New Year’s to both students and alums/parents!!

We’re excited to get back in the pool tonight, and also excited to kick off our first Swimmer of the Week spotlight for this new term! Everyone, say hello to Evan Barton! We missed him in the fall, but he’s back and ready to go in the pool! Read on to learn more about this crazy fast swimmer! (Although a little to the coaches’ chagrin, Evan can bust out incredible times sometimes even without practice, haha!)

Winter season about to begin!

Yeah, yeah I know what you’re about to say – winter’s been in season since November! But Club Swim is about to pop back in the pool and begin our season after about 6 weeks of being fish out of the water!

For any new potential members, there is an info session that will be happening at 6pm in the gym lobby TOMORROW, Monday, January 8th! Look for leadership and anyone wearing Club Swim apparel!

Following that, at 6:30pm in the Karl Michael pool in the gym basement, we will kick off our first open practice (of the week of open practices)! Come by and try Club Swim out even if you can’t make the info session, but do try to fill out the insurance waiver beforehand. If you can’t though, also no worries, it’ll just be an extra 5 minutes or so of filling it out on the pool deck via a laptop!

See everyone soon!

Swimmer/Coach of the Week! #10

Hello hello! Just wanted to give a (belated) shoutout with this week’s Swimmer of the Week! This past term, we’ve had alums come to meets and cheer for us, with posters and desserts and smiles! Thank you so so much to Katie Lachance and Brian McGahie and Patrick Campbell for coming by – it meant the world to us, especially as we 18s are in the same place you were when we first met you <3

And now, ahem, back to Swimmer of the Week #10!! This week we are introducing the other incredibly important coach of Club Swim, Michael Sun! Michael was off this past term, but he will be coming back as a coach this winter, and transitioning into the position of head coach in the spring! We are excited to have him back with his stories from his study abroad AND to have his excitement and dedication back on board!

Hello hello! Along with starting our second week of practices for the season, we are so excited to also begin introducing non-leadership members of our team in our SotW corner!!! For this week’s post, please give a virtual drumroll for…LIBBY DECKER!

Libby hails from a sunny state (no, not California) and has an equally sunny personality. She has an unfortunate tendency to get sick and hurt sometimes, but she never lets that stop her from being excited about life and Club Swim. So excited to see her back in the pool this term!

Swimmer/Coach of the Week! #4

Today was Club Swim’s first open practice! For this week’s SotW, we’re thrilled to introduce you to the architect of that practice: our beloved coach and teammate, Kimberly Ma!

After two terms adrift, club swim has finally returned to a state of normalcy in the wake of Kimmy’s long awaited return from her time abroad in Japan! Caring, disciplined, and flawlessly organized, Kimmy is more responsible than anyone for the team’s success in the pool and is a key part of its warm community.

Still going strong with our SotW lineup, amongst the craziness of a new term, new classes, and lots of bustling 21s (i.e. potential new members!!)!

Say hello to Thuy-Vy, one of our social chairs and also the in-charge of the Dartmouth Club Swim Instagram account! She’s bubbly (and cheeky) and loves to have fun and explore down all sorts of side-streets (refer below to her favorite club swim memory, haha). Take a look to get to know this lovely gal a bit better!
