Swim and Dive Teams
For Members Only
Meet Coach Todd
Coach Todd has been coaching swim for over 33 years, and this is his 17th summer at High Lane. His past coaching experiences include:
​
-
Wallingford Recreation team
-
Hopkins Mariners
-
North Haven High School girls
-
Paugusset Club
Coach Todd just finished his 31st season with the Amity High School boys, and 18th season with the Amity High School girls. Todd is also on the coaching staff for Hamden Hall Aquatic Club.
Todd is looking forward to the summer swim club season because it's all about fun! New swimmers will learn skills, build friendships, get exposed to competition and a team atmosphere. Experienced swimmers have fun with a less intense atmosphere and the access to compete in different events. Contact Coach Todd: j.rainey@snet.net

​
What if my child cannot attend all of the practices and/or meets?
We ask that you make your best effort to attend practices and meets. Many families can only attend mornings or evening practices. You are welcome to participate as much as possible and we encourage your child to come to meets EVEN if they have missed practices. The meets are incredibly FUN, friendly, welcoming, and supportive of swimmers of all abilities.

2nd child: $135 per child

Each swimmer will also need to purchase a swim team bathing suit, which is required to be worn at swim meets (details on ordering coming soon). Each child receives a HLC swim cap with registration.
