Coach Carter has been leading Chastain's Summer Tidal Waves program for 14+ years. He's a straight-talking Irish-and-Welsh-blooded-New-Yorker high school history teacher, with extensive award-winning coaching experience in swim, lacrosse and football.
These are the smiling faces in the water and on the deck with your kids every single practice. Between them they bring years of having come up through the Chastain Tidal Waves summer swim team program, swimming for their high school Varsity teams, and competing in USA Swimming.
Make sure to pay attention to the age 15-18 meet events. If your child is new to swim team and just learning some of the basics, this is what could be ahead of them. We love these coaches. They inspire our kids both in and out of the water, they make every day fun, and they never fail to bring that something special that makes summer swim team the memory-making experience that it is.
Please pay these fees NOW before the Championships, which will be held on June 25th. Everyone should participate. It is…
Such a fun Championship Meet!
Today we will celebrate the wrap up of the season with awards and banquet at 5pm. And we will give thank you gifts to the high school coaches (cash in envelopes - cash is king with these kids!). If you would still like to contribute…
