Yes, we will have a small number of meets this year! We are not just training and working on our fitness and emotional health like last year. We are also preparing to compete! Work hard, focus on improvement and goal setting.
There will be many changes to our “normal” meet season.
• We are swimming 4 dual meets against a total of 2 opposing teams this year.
• These meets will be in late June
• We will reduce numbers of swimmers and adults at the facility by cutting our team(s) in half. For Example:
• Tuesday swim 10-U against team A
• Thurs swim 11 – 18 against the same team
The SAAA is hosting 1 Invitational Meet at Oro Valley pool in mid-June. This is very different then years past where we had 3 Invites aimed at certain groups of kids. More information will be available soon.

The coaches teach and train the athletes and prepare them for the meets, but the parents run the out of water aspects of the team. We can’t provide the excellent experience that HV is known for without your help. Parents do everything from ordering apparel to timing to acting as the “Shade Brigade” at invitational meets, setting up the web site, organizing social events etc. Please plan to step up and help out! We need you!!!
As was noted above, there will be an SAAA Championships on Thurs July 8 and Friday July 9 at Oro Valley pool. This is still a work in progress. Details should be available soon.
We are excited that you have chosen to be a part of the Highland Vista Swim Team. The HV Swim Team has a long tradition of developing championship level swimmers for over 50 years. We do this by focusing on proper stroke mechanics, technique, motivation, mental preparation, sportsmanship and a love for the sport of swimming. This is accomplished by creating a fun family atmosphere and a team of dedicated coaches that provide the highest quality coaching available.
This year COVID is still presenting some challenges, BUT we are moving in the right direction and even get to have a few mees!r!
