Swim Club 2021-2022

 Hello Ladue Swim Club members and interested swimmers!

As you know the Ladue Swim Club has been closed since the spring of 2020.  I wanted to let you know that we have been working to bring the swim club back and begin our youth swim club programs again this winter.  Our former coaches have left and accepted other employment positions over the last year.  We have been trying for several months to recruit and hire qualified coaches to lead our program.     At this point in time we have not been successful at hiring any coaches primarily due to a lack of applicants and we must push back the starting date for the swim club. Our original hope was to send out registrations in September and begin swimming in November.  We will continue to recruit and work to hire coaches for the program.  Once we have a coaching staff in place, we will revise the swim club program and send out registration information to interested swimmers.  We apologize for the delay and if you know any great swim coaches please encourage them to apply.  Application information can be found on the Ladue School District website.

Please reach out to me with any questions and I hope to see you at the pool soon.


Sincerely,

Ladue Swim Club Closed

Dear Ladue Swim Club Members,

The Ladue School District is currently closed until April 3rd.  Ladue Swim Club will be closed as long as the district remains closed.  I will be coordinating with the school district's activities office following spring break to determine when and if we can begin the spring swim program.  Payments have not been processed and I will hold payments until we are able to start the spring program.  If it becomes necessary to cancel the spring program, all payments will be returned to you.

I truly hope to see everyone at the pool soon.

Sincerely,

Corey  Miller

Last Winter Practice Tonight

Good Afternoon All,
Tonight will be our last winter swim club practice.  We'll have the kids warm-up and then run some races.  After that we'll let them finish with some free time.  I hope all of the swimmers have enjoyed the winter session and if you are signed up for the spring session (summer warm-up) the first day of swimming will take place on Tuesday, March 24th.
We hope you have a nice spring break.

Thursday, January 30th

Good Evening All,

Tomorrow afternoon is the last Ladue High School Girls Swimming and Diving home meet for the year.  It should be a competitive meet starting at 4:15 PM if you would like to watch. They also plan to have a senior celebration at the end of their meet.  In anticipation that their event will run a little long, we are going to move all of the swim groups back by a 1/2 hour.

On Thursday:

Group 1 (Ages 5 to 7) will practice from 6:00 to 6:45 PM

Group 2 (Ages 8 to 10) will practice from 6:45 PM to 7:30 PM

Group 3 (Ages 11& up) will practice from 7:30 PM to 8:20 PM

We will have normal practice times this Saturday starting at 10 AM.

One other thing I would like to let you know about:

This weekend, Missouri Water Polo is sponsoring USA Water Polo Growth Specialist and 2004 Olympian Genai Kerr's return to St. Louis to lead the Missouri Water Polo Players Clinic February 1st & 2nd at MICDS (just up the road from Ladue High on N. Warson).  Additionally, there is a free Splashball Clinic for players 6-10 years old from 4-5 pm at MICDS on Saturday, February 1st.  Here is some info on the clinic:  https://5meter.com/collections/splashball/products/saint-louis-missouri-splashball-camp

In addition to Olympian Genai Kerr, there will be several college coaches and athletes and Olympic Development water polo coaches in attendance.

If any of your swimmers ages 6 to 10 are interested in trying water polo for an hour on Saturday, the splash ball is a free event but you have to register in advance. Most of our current swim coaches are or have been water polo players in addition to swimmers. 

Thank you and see you at the pool soon!
