Dear Neighbors,
The Harmony 'Hammerheads' Swim Team was founded in the summer of 2015 as a neighborhood summer swim team. We are a team within the Tarheel Swimming Association (TSA, www.tsanc.org) south league. Our Harmony neighborhood (www.harmonyhoa.org) in Cary, North Carolina has 300 homes, and our team is comprised of approximately 100 swimmers ranging from 5 to 18 years in age. We have a five lane twenty-five yard outdoor pool which we share with the neighborhood.
We are a volunteer-run team with parents serving as coaches, TSA representatives, judges, meet facilitators, and other team-related roles. We operate from the end of May through the end of July and in that time compete in six swim meets, three of which are home meets (Tuesday nights). We are fully self-funded by annual fees, meet concessions, fundraising events, and sponsorship by generous local businesses.
The team is in operation from the end of May until the third week of July. Between these dates the team practices Mondays and Wednesdays from 6 to 8 pm and Saturdays before the pool opens from 8 to 10 am. During these times the pool's five lanes are reserved exclusively for the team, but the kiddie pool, water slide, and sliding well remain open.
Our goal in having a summer swim team is to teach our children the basics of competitive swimming, serve as a catalyst for neighborhood comradery, foster childhood friendships within the community, and for the swimmers and parents to have lots of summertime fun!
Annual sign-up typically begins February 1st and ends March 31.
