Good Morning, Starz Families, What a remarkable Classic Championship our Starz swimmers had! Classic is a special meet; it puts the spotlight on our developing athletes, who often make the most sizable personal gains throughout the season. It’s thrilling to see these swimmers earning ribbons and recognition alongside their peers from throughout the conference. The Starz finished 4th in our session (2nd boys, 5th girls), and our points would have placed us 7th among all 19 teams participating this year. Many of our swimmers took home multiple awards, and even...

Good Morning, Starz Families, Can you believe it? Classsic is TOMORROW! Sorry for the chilly send-off this morning, Classic swimmers. Nicor is in the parking lot as we speak, and we're hopeful that this week's gas issues will be resolved this morning. While we knew that the natural das disruption had impacted our kitchen and showers, we didn't feel the effects in our pool until the weather turned. Once the air temperature dropped (especially yesterday), it became clear that our gas-powered pool heater was no longer maintaining the water at...

Good Afternoon, Starz Families, Championship Week is upon us! We hope that those swimmers who RSVP’d to tomorrow morning’s Champ Week Kickoff Lunch and Games Event on the patio are looking forward to it. What a spectacular meet we had last night against Breckenridge. I couldn’t be more excited about our team’s performance. The pool was positively glowing with energy, and my post-meet reports revealed tons of new personal bests, which is the #1 goal of any developmental swim program. Finally notching a win against our perennially strong southside rival...

Good Afternoon, Starz Families! Our last regular season meet--and our last HOME meet--is tomorrow!

Starz Roundup Friday, July 11, 2025 Good Morning, Starz Families! Thanks for picking up your photos this week; we hope you enjoy them! I have two envelopes that were not picked up because families were traveling; I’ll have these at our End-of-Season Celebration on July 27. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to pick them up sooner Thanks, too, for hanging in there with the rescheduling of our Tuesday meet with Breckenridge. If your swimmer’s availability has changed given the shift in date, please be sure to make...

Parents, Every year, as parents like you notice their swimmers’ skill improvement, we’re asked the best way to keep that growth going. The answer? Year-round club swimming. Our area has several club options, including Fox Valley Swim Team, Delta Aquatics, Fox Valley PD Riptides, Mavericks Swim Club, FMC Aquatics, and more. Age group swimming is available for swimmers 8U through high school, and nearly all clubs offer some kind of developmental step-in program for developing swimmers in which fundamentals are stressed and practice/meet obligations are more modest (Fox, for example,...

Starz Families, We have been closely monitoring the potential for problematic weather this evening throughout the day. In collaboration with NSC reps from Breckenridge, we have made the difficult decision to postpone tonight's meet to Tuesday, July 15--one week from today (same meet times). As many of you have experienced, it can be VERY challenging (if not impossible) to restart a meet with full particpation following a weather hold. Given the size of this meet, the fact that many families would be parking off site, and our want to allow...
