Welcome to the 2025 Haddon Hall Swim Team!

We are so excited to get the season started.

Things to do:

1. Make sure you’ve activated your SwimTopia account. Logging in to your account on the team website allows you to sign up for upcoming meets and events, access your “My Account” section to see an overview of parents/guardians and athletes linked within your family, and view your job signups and time history for your swimmer(s).
   
   Download the SwimTopia app and allow notifications. With this app, we’ll be able to communicate with you through push notifications—which is helpful when we need to get information out quickly, such as rain delays or weather alerts.
2. Follow the Haddon Hall Facebook page for real-time updates and reminders.
3. Make sure you check out our website www.hhhammerheads.com to review the Parent Handbook and lots of other information.

Orientation

Orientation is scheduled for May 13 th at 6:00 p.m. at the Haddon Hall Clubhouse. This is geared toward newer families to review how the season is run, discuss volunteer job positions, review practice and meet expectations, and answer any questions that you have. 

Junior Coaches

We need Junior Coaches to help with the younger age groups! Please complete this google form if your child is interested in being a junior coach.

National Anthem

Who loves to sing, play an instrument, do an interpretive dance… and would like to volunteer to do the national anthem at our HOME swim meets? Adults, kids, single, a group, we’ll take it! Simply send an email to [email protected]

Swimsuits

If your current suit still fits, you DO NOT have to purchase a new one. Previous suit patterns are acceptable. Girls must wear a one piece, boys should wear a jammer suit. Haddon Hall Families can visit Kiefer Aquatics (1231 NW Maynard Rd Cary NC 27513) for all your summer swim needs.

Volunteering

Volunteer sign up was required at the time of registration. Remember that “you” are required to volunteer for 4 swim meets. (“You” = parent, grandparent, older child, anyone over 16 years old.) Julie Jacquard is our volunteer coordinator, and you WILL be hearing from her. 

Practices

Practices begin May 12th. Practices are held Monday - Thursday and it is best (but not required) if you can make all of them, as the coaches cover different strokes and techniques on different days!

Practice squads are as follows for the entire season this year. After June 13th, morning practices will be an option!

• Dolphins (6 yrs & under): 4:45pm - 5:15pm
• Otters (7/8 yrs): 5:15pm - 6pm
• Marlins (9/10 yrs): 6pm - 6:45pm
• Barracudas (11/12 yrs): 6:45pm - 7:30pm
• Sharks (13 yrs & up): 7:30pm - 8:15pm

Ice Cream Social

Friday, May 30th at 6 p.m. Don’t miss hanging out with your teammates, eating ice cream and picking up your swim team t-shirt, mesh bag (new members), swim caps (if you need a cap).

Mock Meet

Tuesday, June 3rd. This is when we all, kids and parents, get to practice what we will be doing at a real meet. We divide our team in two...gold team vs black team...and compete against each other. It runs just like the real thing.
