A Letter from Matt Sheehan, Swim Coach:
The Stratford Swim Team competes in the Tri-County Swim League. Practices usually begin after Memorial Day and the season culminates with a Championship meet the first weekend in August. The team conducts daily practices to teach proper stroke mechanics and to prepare team members for competition swimming.
The team consists of approximately one hundred and forty swimmers between the ages 4 and 18. The ability of the swimmers ranges from beginner to collegiate level.
​
There are three team designations; A Team, B Team, and Dolphin School. The A Team competes in five dual meets on Saturday mornings. The B Team participates in several Wednesday night meets. The Dolphin School works on water readiness with the goal of participating in Wednesday night B Meets. “A” Selected Swimmers will compete in the Jack Hafner Burlington County Championship Meet in July and may also qualify for the Tri Co Championship Meet in August.
The coaches teach the sport of swimming in a fun, stress-free atmosphere. The team has pep-rallies, parties, and a team banquet where swimmers and recognized for the participation, improvement, and outstanding performances.
The Coaching staff brings a wealth of teaching, coaching, and swimming experiences to the Swim Team and understands the important role that supportive parents play in providing a fun, competitive activity for all the swimmers to enjoy.
Regards, Matt Sheehan
