The meet results for this past weekend have been posted. I want to congratulate all swimmers who participated and thank the Mystic YMCA Hammerheads for traveling to us for our first home swim meet of the season! Both swim teams did a phenomenal job in the water!
The swim meet results for both the Waterbury YMCA and the Wheeler YMCA meets have been posted to the Swim Meet Results section of our website. Please take a moment to visit that page and look through your swimmer’s accomplishments over the past couple of weekends! If you’d like to quickly get to these results you can click below:

I wanted to quickly remind everyone that we (the Hamden North Haven YMCA Swim Team) have one of our fundraisers tomorrow evening from 5:00 – 8:00pm at the Friendly’s in the North Haven Target Plaza. Please come and support the Typhoon swim team while enjoying a great meal (and sundae) with your family! If you are in a rush for time, you can order take out and still help out the team.
Along with this reminder, I want to also remind everyone that your practice times for tomorrow evening (Tuesday, October 20th) will change as well.

Happy Swimming!
The Hamden North Haven YMCA Swim Team looks to start their semi-annual preseason swim clinic today! Throughout the past years, the clinic has proven to be a great educational tool for the coaches and swimmers, and has become a staple in each of the Typhoon seasons!
Swimmers will learn a plethora of stroke technique drills, starts & turns, and other pertinent swimming skills that will be utilized by the coaching staff throughout the short course season. The coaching staff will also begin to introduce dry-land techniques and exercises that will help form stroke specific muscle memory.
The bottom line, though, the swimmers will have a great time while they are learning. This goes for the older groups as well; because the clinic is designed to focus on the swimmers that are participating, there will not be a significant amount of yardage, but there will be a lot of experimenting with new skills and drills to really focus on the individual swimmer technique.
Look for an update tonight on our blog, and if you want to check it out feel free to stop in! The Typhoons look forward to seeing you and/or your swimmer in the water soon!
Happy swimming!!
Swim Team Registration has started for the Hamden North Haven YMCA Typhoons! As of August 5th you are able to register for the highly anticipated pre-season clinic! The clinic is also included in the registration fee for the 2009/2010 Short Course Season.
So, without further delay, here is the link for the registration info:
As the Hamden North Haven YMCA Swim Team has officially ended our Regular Season for 2008/2009 Short Course, I would like to look back on this year’s happenings. However, before that I would just like to thank all of the swim team parents, swimmers, and everybody else that has been involved with this past season! Without your support, involvement, and commitment the we wouldn’t have been able to accomplish a majority of these achievements this year! So, thank you, and I truly hope to see you at the Hamden North Haven YMCA Swim Team banquet on April 5th, and April 27th for the Spring Swim Clinic!
And now on to the Hamden North Haven YMCA Typhoon Happenings of the 2008/2009 Short Course Season in no particular order (and please feel free to let me know if I have forgotten something):
I, honestly, cannot thank everyone enough for a great regular season; I am absolutely looking forward to the pre-season clinic in April, and the Summer Season!!! Let’s all wish the New England Qualifiers and their Relay Teams the best for their competition at the New England Championship swim meet in March! Go Typhoons!!
The Hamden North Haven Swim Team (the YMCA Typhoons) held their final regular season (Short Course) practice last night. Everyone did a fantastic job during the taper, and will hopefully benefit from all of the hard work at this weekend’s swim meet!
With regard to this weekend’s YMCA championship swim meet, arrival times for all swimmers have been sent, entries have been posted on our website, and directions to Plainville are also available on the website. If you have any other questions please feel free to give me a call or e-mail me at any point!
Also, since we are nearing the end of the Short Course Season, thoughts of the Long Course season are coming up. With that said, the Swim Clinic registration has started and will begin April 27, 2009. The clinic is two weeks and leads directly into the Long Course Season. Registration Information can be found on our website under www.typhoonswimming.com/registration.html. There will also be a registration form posted on the home page and the Long Course page as soon as possible.
This past weekend marked one of Hamden North Haven YMCA Typhoons’ last swim meets of the season. The meet was held on February 7th at the Northern Middlesex YMCA with the Barracudas Swim Team. There were a few technical faults with regard to entries, but everything worked out fine in the end!
The Typhoon swimmers, from what I saw and heard, had a great time supporting each other, and times looked great from what Coach Elaina, Coach Alisse, and I were recording. One new swimmer qualified for New England Regional Championship (which will allow us to send a 9-10 boys’ relay team), and two of our swimmers (already qualified) improved their seed time for their qualifying events. I will, hopefully, have the swim meet results to post on the website by tomorrow evening!
Next weekend (February 14, 2009) will be our last YMCA Dual Swim Meet until the Long Course Season. We will be at home (Albertus Magnus) with the arrival time of 7:45 am and warm-ups starting at 8:00 am. Please make sure you let me know as soon as possible whether or not you plan on attending. Since this is the last dual meet for our Hamden North Haven Swim Team, and we are nearing the Yankee Cluster Championship (entries posted on our YMCA Swim Team website, I hope that we can get a good showing from all of our swimmers!
Happy Swimming, and Go Typhoons!!
So, due to the snow (once again) we had to cancel practice for our Hamden North Haven YMCA Swim Team (the Typhoons). While we cancelled for the Silver and Gold group, we still had practice (though abbreviated) for the Junior and Senior groups. With that said, those two groups works extremely hard and deserve a huge “thank you” for not letting the weather affect how you practice!!
As a quick reminder, I do need to know which swimmers are planning on swimming at the Yankee Cluster Championship as soon as possible. I need to submit the swimming entries no later than February 6, 2009 which only gives me a few days to fill everything out. That being said, I somewhat expect (and please pardon my tone) our swimmers to attend the meet that weekend in Plainville (at the Plainville High School). It is a very important meet as it will be the last “hoorah” for the season for several of the swimmers and is somewhat unfair to the swimmers who are going to be there and relying on a team relay for 5 events. So, it is not necessarily for my sake that you would attend, but for the sake of the team and your swimmers’ friends (no guilt trip or anything 
.
Alright, so I look forward to no snow tomorrow and back to practice as usual for our Hamden North Haven Swim Team!
Happy Swimming!!
I am proud to announce that we, the Hamden North Haven YMCA Swim Team (the Typhoons) now have an open source forum for parents to leave comments, question, news, etc. They now have the ability to openly communicate with eachother via the internet and do not have to wait on e-mail to get a response as the forum is accessible from any computer or smart phone. You can visit the forum by clicking: Hamden North Haven YMCA Swimming Forum. I am currently, however, still working on the design so that you are able to easily navigate back to the home page. I will keep everyone up to date on how that re-design is going, but please enjoy the forum!
