The coaches may also treat some of the tryouts as a practice session (asking them to perform certain tasks). This is to see how they will work in a practice-like setting. Our practice program is designed to acquaint and teach young swimmers the strokes and training involved in today's competitive swimming. Emphasis is placed on learning the proper stroke, start and turn techniques as well as the improvement of each swimmer’s "personal best" time in each event.

For more information: email rjcheese04@gmail.com Naugatuck Thunderfish Swim Club Tryouts Fall Season is October 4th through March 2nd Dates: Monday, 10/2 OR Tuesday, 10/3 Time: 6 - 7 p.m. Tryout location: Naugatuck High School Natatorium, 543 Rubber Avenue Ages: 6 - 17 CT Swimmers should: Wear a swimsuit and bring their own towel, cap and/or goggles. Be able to swim 25 yards of freestyle and backstroke. For more information: ThunderfishSwimming@gmail.com What do prospective Thunderfish do during tryouts? We will have the swimmer jump or dive into the deep end and complete at least one unassisted length of freestyle and demonstrate some of the three other competitive strokes (butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke). If they do not know how to properly swim all four strokes, don’t worry! Many of our swimmers start on the team with a vague knowledge of the strokes, then learn as they go. The coaches may also treat some of the tryouts as a practice session (asking them to perform certain tasks). This is to see how they will work in a practice-like setting. Our practice program is designed to acquaint and teach young swimmers the strokes and training involved in today's competitive swimming. Emphasis is placed on learning the proper stroke, start and turn techniques as well as the improvement of each swimmer’s "personal best" time in each event.

📰 NPS News: New Principal at Andrew Ave, Pop Warner ...
New Principal at Andrew Avenue! We are delighted to announce the appointment of Meagan Rolla as the next Principal of Andrew Avenue Elementary School ! With a wealth of experience in education and a proven track record of success, Ms. Rolla brings a dynamic and innovative approach to school leadership. Her dedication to student well-being, family engagement, and community partnerships makes her an excellent fit for our school community. Ms. Rolla joins us from her previous role as Director of the Early Childhood Center at Central Avenue, where she faced the challenges of reopening a school during COVID-19 by leading with compassion and empathy, paired with an unwavering commitment to our students and families. Rolla said becoming a school counselor was her dream come true. She enjoyed working with students with vastly different needs academically, socially, and behaviorally. “I quickly built relationships with families and became a source of support to my colleagues,” Rolla said in her application. Rolla is replacing Lisa Lachance, who has taken the position of principal at City Hill Middle School. Lachance is replacing Eileen Mezzo, who is now serving as associate principal at Naugatuck High School. As our new principal, Ms. Rolla will bring her considerable expertise and enthusiasm to Andrew Avenue Elementary School. With her leadership, we are confident that she will foster a supportive and inclusive environment, empowering our students to achieve their full potential. Please join us in warmly welcoming Ms. Rolla to our school community. Naugatuck Valley Health District Survey We want to hear from you!
