Hello Hurricanes familiies, It is with a heavy heart that I share the news of Jeff Cook's resignation from his role as a Coach for the Hurricanes. Over the past decade, Jeff's dedication has been unwavering as he tirelessly made his way up the hill after his high school teaching duties to guide our Category 1 swimmers. Jeff's leadership has established Category 1 as a remarkable platform for budding swimmers to launch, and it's worth noting that the majority of our current team members embarked on their swimming careers under...

Hello Basecamp Families, We are fast approaching the final and most exciting event of Basecamp, the Castle 10k / 5k / 2.5k at Wellington Lake. I have pasted a blast of information from the race organizers below. Wetsuits were in very short supply due to a large triathlon in Boulder this weekend. However, after finding just about every available wetsuit in the Denver metro area, I think we will have a properly fitting wetsuit for everyone! I will arrive at the campsite with the wetsuits on Friday night. If you...
