Congratulations to TCC swimmer Sonia Wang, 14, for her selection to the 2011 U.S.A. Swimming National Select Camp.  Sonia will attend the camp on October 27-30 at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado.  Her selection was based on her performances during the 2011 long course season.  At the camp, Sonia will learn about race recovery, nutrition, psychological training skills, and race strategy.    Have fun Sonia!!

TCC has been assigned to the Palm Springs Winter Age Group Championships.
The meet will be held in Palm Springs on December 9-11, 2011.

Congratulations to Michael Haney for being selected to the 2011-2012 USA National Youth Team.  His selection was based on his performance at Senior Nationals this summer at Stanford.  This is a huge accomplishment.  We are very proud of you Michael!

“It was a great day!  The weather was fantastic, the water was warm, and the smores were yummy.  It was nice seeing some of our new families and spending 9-11 together made the day even more special,” said head coach John Ries.  TCC’s annual beach party was a huge “splash” and we want to thank Jeff Johnson for bringing the umbrellas and Patrick Altree for bringing the firewood and team tarps.
