💦 3 WEEKS TO GO! 💦

Some of the most important work happens when no one is watching.

It’s in the early mornings. The extra laps. The setbacks. The restarts. The decision to keep showing up when the road looks different than you planned.

Because a comeback doesn’t begin on race day. It begins the moment you decide you’re not finished. 💙🐎

As we get closer to another season, we can’t wait to see our returning C**ts back in the water — and welcome some new faces ready to become part of this team.

💭 QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
What’s something swimming has taught you about overcoming a setback? 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️

🐎 Every week brings us one stroke closer.

🌟 SATURDAY SENIOR SPOTLIGHT 🌟
💙 Meet Jonah Ogas | Class of 2027 💙

You might recognize the last name 😉 — but Jonah has certainly made a name for himself in the pool.

Now in his 4th year swimming for Coahulla Creek, Jonah has become a familiar face on the blocks and a clutch anchor ⚓️ for the C**ts’ men’s relays. As one of our seven seniors, he heads into one final season ready to race, make memories and enjoy the sport he’s spent so many years around. 💙🏊‍♂️

⭐ Get to know Jonah:

🏊 Favorite Event: 100 IM
➗ Favorite Class: Math
🎶 Pump-Up Song: Anything Michael Jackson 🕺
🥪 Favorite Post-Meet Food: Jimmy John’s sub
💙 Favorite C**t Swim Memory: Finals at the Calhoun Championships
💬 Advice for New Swimmers: “Make sure you have fun and keep the sport as fun as possible.”
🎯 Goal for Senior Season: “to make every state cut”.

That advice feels especially fitting coming from a senior. Times, places and medals matter — but four years go by quickly. Enjoying the people beside you and remembering why you love the sport matters, too. 💙

💌 A message from Jonah’s parents:
“Throughout all of the years we have watched you swim, we have always been amazed at how hard you work in the pool. We have seen you achieve goals, create growth through struggle, and make family out of friendships. We have never had to push you - you do that all on your own. We know that being the coach's kid wasn't easy and swim has always been inevitable.
However, we will never take for granted all of the time that we have been blessed to spend with you at the pool through this sport.
Prayers over your senior season, and I hope you know we will always be your biggest fans.
💕 Mom & Dad”

⭐ One last season. A lifetime of memories. 💙

💦 5 WEEKS TO GO! 💦

We’re officially just FIVE weeks away from Coahulla Creek Swim! 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️

Swimming may look like an individual sport from the stands, but some of the best moments happen when you’re racing for something bigger than yourself. Your teammates are cheering from behind the blocks, counting on you to do your part and ready to celebrate together when you touch that wall. 💙

“Strong teams are built by swimmers who show up for each other.”

Whether you’re a returning C**t or thinking about giving high school swim a try for the first time, there’s a lane for you at the Creek.

💭 QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
