TROPICAL DEPRESSIONS ARE BACK!!
2021-10-26Tropical Depressions 2021-2022
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE STILL HAVE OPENINGS FOR BEGINNER SWIMMERS ONLY. OUR LANE SPACE FOR EXPERIENCED SWIMMERS HAS NOW REACHED IT'S MAXIMUM CAPACITY.
The Tropical Depressions is an adult swim program offered through the Cole Harbour Hurricanes summer swim team. The group was originally created when some parents of youth athletes decided they wanted to try a triathlon. A number of years ago some of our swim team parents were interested in trying a triathlon. We pulled together a group of adults with diverse experience and fitness levels. Thirteen Depressions completed the Navy Trident Try-a-Tri in our first season. Some of the original group have gone on to complete sprint, Olympic and even Ironman triathlons! Over the ensuing years we’ve had other parents and community members participate in learn-to-swim and swim-for-fitness programs.
Our youth athletes train in groups called: Tropical Storm, Lightning, Thunder, Gusts and Breezes. The adults are the ‘Tropical Depressions’
We are once again able to utilize Hurricane swim lanes for adult fitness swimming beginning November 4, 2021 and running to May 15, 2022.
