Snow was falling but that didn’t stop the members from Castle Pines North (CPN) from lining up out the door of Dazbog to register for the upcoming swim season for the Castle Crocs.
In its fifth year, the Crocs welcomed back returning swimmers as well as added new members to the roster. Head coach Paul Whitaker will be back for the season, as well as some of the assistant coaches and junior coaches.
Practices will take place at the HOA2 pool located off Oxford in the Kings Crossing subdivision. Practices will begin at 7 a.m. andgo to 9:40 a.m.
As part of the Mountain Hi Swim League, the Crocs will swim in five dual meets in the B1 division. They will also swim in preliminary and a championship meet. Swimmers with a qualifying time will compete in an All Star meet at the end of the season.
The Crocs focus is providing a healthy recreational experience that promotes child and swimmer development in a fun and positive way. The team strives to make the experience family friendly, convenient and affordable for each member.
The Crocs are a nonprofit parent-run organization. The team, with the exception of a paid coaching staff, is operated with parent volunteers and the help of local HOAs, businesses and families.
The Crocs thank HOA1, HOA2, CPNII, Dazbog, Little Italy, Colorado Kids Pediatric Dentistry, Drs. Lisa Fox and Patrick Wilson, Dr. Andrew Dunbar with Castle Pines Orthodontics, Cool Patent, P.C., Maureen Brown with Mom’s the Word! Talk Show, SecureSearch, WildTree Products, and CPN family the Swiateks.
