Do You Have What It Takes to Be A H2O?

2 Parts Heart ❤️ • 1 Part Obsession 

The H2O Program is an opportunity for young swimmers who want to take the next step in their involvement with the Homestead Hurricanes. H2O participants will learn the foundations and fundamentals of coaching while helping to inspire the next generation of Homestead swimmers.

WHAT IS H2O?

H2O participants will:

• Learn to Coach: Work alongside our coaches to learn coaching fundamentals and what it takes to run an effective technique focused practice.
• Inspire Younger Swimmers: Exude enthusiasm and love for the team
• Build Leadership Skills: Learn how to communicate with swimmers, demonstrate skills, encourage teammates, and become a positive role model.
• Support Your Age Group: H2Os will be assigned to an age group and will be required to attend two practices per week, in addition to Mondays, for their assigned younger swimmers.
• Support Tuesday Meets: All H2Os are required to attend Tuesday night meets and will serve as Heaters and Runners while also cheering for and supporting our swimmers.
• Be a Role Model: H2Os are expected to demonstrate enthusiasm, sportsmanship, responsibility, and to be Ambassadors for the Homestead Hurricanes Swim Team.

HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS

Each age group will have two H2Os, with the goal of having at least one H2O in attendance each day.

H2Os will work under the direction and mentorship of our coaches. Coaches will be responsible for teaching H2Os how to:

• Teach swimming fundamentals
• Demonstrate proper technique
• Lead drills
• Work effectively with younger swimmers
• Assist with practices
• Encourage and motivate swimmers
• Be positive leaders and role models
