19 Apr 2022 by Kelly Arne

REGISTRATION IS OPEN for the 2022 Ford’s Colony Killer Whales Summer Swim Season! Register young swimmers ages 5-18. All levels and abilities welcome. Swimmers will learn the fundamentals in all four strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly.

Registration is located on Team App under REGISTER NOW! The cost is $150 per swimmer. A Killer Whales team t-shirt is included in the registration fee.

All swimmers new to the team will be required to attend a placement session with the coaches on either Wednesday, May 25 or Thursday, May 26. New swimmers will get in the water and swim the length of the pool. This will allow the coaches to place the swimmer in the proper practice based on ability and safety.

The Killer Whales will be using Team App (now called Stack Team App) as the primary form of communication. Register all parents and swimmers on Stack Team App in order to receive team information, practice and meet schedules, fun photos and last minute weather updates.

Killer Whales will be using the same team suit as last year: Speedo Infinite Pulse in black/white. This two-year suit is proving to be difficult to find as Speedo is going through changes. If you cannot find the team suit, a solid black suit is the next best option. We team up every summer with Swim & Sport Stop in Newport News to order suits and swim accessories. If your swimmer needs to try on suits to find the best fit, the Swim & Sport Stop is a great place to start. Mention you’re with Ford’s Colony Killer Whales and they’ll get you set up!
