What a way to kick off the dual meet season! The Tigers opened with a strong 249–171 victory over Old Keene Mill on Saturday, with great swims, tremendous effort, and plenty of team spirit from our swimmers, coaches, officials, and volunteers. 🐯💛🖤

With Black&Gold and the first meet behind us, we’re shifting into high gear and building momentum for what promises to be another exciting summer. The season is just getting started, and we can’t wait to see what this team will accomplish together in the weeks ahead! 🚀

Swim Practice Weekly Schedule

We start our in-season summer practice schedule this week with daily practices held each morning. Note: no more Saturday practices as Dual Meets take place moving forward.

Morning Make-Up Practices

As the team transitions to morning practices this week, we will open make-up practices starting on June 30. Coaches will be available for 7 AM make-ups on Tuesdays and Thursdays for Swim Team athletes who are unable to attend practices later in the morning. This does not apply to Little Tigers. A sign-up will be available later this week for the dates your swimmers plan to attend, as we need a minimum of 5 swimmers to host an early morning practice.

Monday Meets Schedule

Monday meets are at the heart of what makes Tuckahoe special. They are the one time each week when our entire team comes together— future stars and seasoned veterans alike, and even a few advanced Little Tigers. Our youngest swimmers get to watch the older kids race and dream about the day they’ll be in those lanes, while the older swimmers return the favor with cheers, high-fives, and encouragement.

Every swimmer is part of the same story. Whether you’re swimming on Saturday, racing on Monday, volunteering, or cheering from the deck, each Tiger helps make our team stronger. The friendships, support, and excitement we build together are what make Tuckahoe more than just a swim team—they’re what make us a family. 🐯💛🖤
