Seahorse families,

Congratulations on a fantastic swim team season. This was Southall’s fourth winning season in a row and the second undefeated season in a row. Prior to 2024, our last undefeated season was 2004!

We are incredibly proud of every one of our 162 swimmers. Success is measured by personal bests swims and over half our swimmers had 10+ personal best times this season. In addition, congratulations to the swimmers who competed at the TSA Championship Meet this past Sunday. Southall sent the most swimmers to the TSA Championships since 2004, and ten more swimmers than last year. All the swimmers had 2-3 personal best swims during the meet.

This fantastic season would not have been possible without the dedication of our swimmers, the coaching staff, parents, community, and the Southall Board of Directors. Congratulations to every member of our Southall Seahorses family.

As we close out our swim team season, please:

• Pick up Swim Banquet awards at snack bar if you were unable to attend the banquet (Note: ALL swimmers received an award!)
• Reach out to Southall swim team parents or coaches to inquire about opportunities for your swimmer to swim during the fall/winter/spring 2025/2026 seasons
• We can’t wait to see your swimmer again next summer! For more information on swim team goals and growth, please see details below.

Coach Tiffany shared the following regarding swim team goals, what we’ve accomplished the last four seasons, and what’s next.

Southall Swim Team Goals for Summer 2022-2025 (all achieved)

1. Strengthen and grow positive culture and community amongst swim team at Southall
2. Grow the team in numbers
   Results: 77 swimmers in 2022, 112 swimmers in 2023, 131 swimmers in 2024, 162 swimmers in 2025
3. Develop a strong and successful team
   Results: Prior to 2022, Southall did not have a winning season since 2010. The last four seasons (2022, 2023, 2024, 2025) have been winning seasons with 2024 and 2025 undefeated seasons.

Southall Swim Team Goals for Summer 2025-2027 (continuing)

1. Maintain and strengthen goals 1-3 from 2022-2025 seasons
2. Develop Alumni Culture
   The smallest member age group at the pool is 22-29. The coaches plan to work to develop Southall alumni swim events to encourage young adults to join the community and sustain the relationships they formed during their prior swim team experience.
3. Strengthen, Retain and Build the Culture of swimmers age 11-18
   In 2020 season, only 24 swimmers were age 11-18. In 2024 season, 38 swimmers (25% of team). In 2025, 30% of the team are age 11-18. We want to continue to support this positive growth. The coaches established older swimmers’ events (Older Kid's Dinner, Older Kids' Triathlon and Older kids time of lock-in) to help build and support the older swimmers on the team.
