Swim & Dive Teams

WELCOME TO CAMPOLINDO SWIMMING & DIVING

Team Overview
  • For decades, Campolindo has been a very competitive program.
  • We have an outstanding tradition of quality swimmers and character athletes.
  • We have, and will continue to have, the highest expectations for this program.
Swimmer Expectations (from the coaches)
  • Maturity:  Be mature in all dealings with coaches, parents and teammates (including personality, attitude and language.)
  • Responsibility:  Adhere to all expectations.  Take responsibility for everything.
  • Integrity:  Be honest with yourself, with the coaches, and with your parents.  teenagers often justify subtle deception but we would rather have them be honest and accountable.
  • Team Priority:  Understand and accept positively that the team, in most situations, comes first.
  • Leadership (for upperclassmen):  Maybe the most important to the team!  Be a role model.  Impact the younger swimmers in a positive way.  It is more than an expectation.  It is a duty and responsibility.
  • Excellence as a student/athlete:  Try to live up to what would be the highest standards of an outstanding student athlete.  Swimmers are accountable to maintain their studies and grades.  Laziness and poor time management are not reasons to miss workout in order to finish homework or study for a test.  Swimmers need to understand their priorities and make appropriate choices.  Swimmers need to be willing to make sacrifices.  A teenager cannot be a successful student/athlete if they do not.
     

High School Diving Season 2019 is about to begin!   Welcome to those of you who will be diving this season and to all the parents of CLAM athletes.  Stephanie Klock and I will be assisting our coach, Will Haynes, with communications this year.
   If you are a NEW diver this season, please, send me an email to angelicazab@aol.comwith the subject line: “Requesting to be included in CLAM Diving Distribution email list”.  Once I have your request, I will add you to the 2019 email list and you will get information from us via MailChip email campains.  Check your spam folders before you contact me saying that you are not getting my emails. Also, you can unsubscribe at any time to stop communications.  
   The season will be structured the same as last year: Mondays and Wednesdays for varsity. Tuesdays and Thursdays for JV.  Practice begins Monday January 28 at the Steve Heaston Aquatic Center, Acalanes High School. 1200 Pleasant Hill Rd., Lafayette, CA 94549.
Coach Will is working on the season meet schedule. Most schools don't have dates for invite meets yet, there are some TBD's (schedule will be distributed at the team informational meeting and sent in an email later).
   VERY IMPORTANT: You need to make sure your suit fits before you order them online.  In order to do this, you have to attend one of the two swim team suit and apparel try-on dates: January 29 or January 30 from 2 to 3:45 at the Soda Center Community Room.
   ALSO VERY IMPORTANT: Divers DO NOT register with the swim team and do not pay swim team athletic contributions.  Divers contribute directly to CLAM Diving and pay for their suits directly when ordering at the Webstore.  I will send more information about CLAM Diving contributions once this is set up for the team.
