Coach Kelly's 2026 Welcome Letter
Welcome to the 2026 summer swim season! I am thrilled to be returning as the head coach of the Smoke Rise Sharks and can’t wait to dive into another exciting season with all of you. Whether you’re a returning Shark or joining us for the first time, we’re so glad to have you as part of our team!
At Smoke Rise, we believe that swimming is about more than just races and times—it’s about bringing our community together, building confidence in and out of the pool, and developing strong sportsmanship. Our goal is to help each swimmer learn the fundamentals of competitive swimming while having a fantastic time, making friends, and creating lasting summer memories.
This season, we’ll be working hard in the water, cheering each other on at meets, and most importantly, having fun as a team. I encourage every swimmer to set personal goals, support their teammates, and embrace the excitement of the sport. Whether you’re here to sharpen your strokes or just to enjoy the thrill of being in the water, there’s a place for you on this team.
I’m looking forward to an amazing season filled with growth, teamwork, and Shark spirit. Let’s make this summer one to remember!
See you at the pool!
Coach Kelly
