(10/11) We just received word that the Hinsdale South pool is closed today and tonight, so all Hornet Swim Club practices for tonight have been cancelled. Hinsdsale South reports, "We have had issues with our chemicals and the cloudiness of the pool. I fully expect it to be up and functional tomorrow." So assume that there will be practice as scheduled tomorrow. We will let you know if that changes.

Gold and Senior swimmers will have practice immediately following the meet.

(5/3) Thank you and best wishes to Bryan Bateman on his retirement from coaching.
Click here to see the video played at the banquet Sunday. Thanks to Tom O'Toole for creating this wonderful tribute!

Hornet Swim Club is pleased to announce that Mirko Mirkov will assume the role of Head Coach effective March 27. Coach Bay Bateman, at her request, will return to a role of Assistant Coach. This is consistent with the plan developed more than a year ago which led to Coach Mirko being hired as the Assistant Head Coach. Coach Bryan Bateman Sr. has decided to retire from coaching, which has always been a sideline to his full-time “day job” and to his passion for raising koi and judging koi shows. Coach Erin Trier is planning to move later this month with her husband to Melbourne, Australia, where he was temporarily transferred. We thank Bryan and Erin for their dedicated and caring service to our club over the past several years. We also thank Coach Bay for her tireless and dedicated service to Hornet Swim Club in her 15 months as Head Coach, during which she performed the role of both coach and administrator/manager with skill and grace. Please join us in congratulating Coach Mirko and Coach Bay on their new roles at Hornet Swim Club, and in wishing Coach Bryan, Sr. the best in his retirement from coaching and bon voyage to Coach Erin as she begins her unique opportunity to live "down under"!

We would like to welcome the new incoming board members:
Co-President: Mardie Leader
Secretary: Pete Stukas
ISI Registrar: Jill Quinones
Member at Large: Molly Bowater

We would also like to thank the following outgoing board members - Mardie Leader, Cathy Relias and Molly Bowater for their hours of time and dedication to our club, and to Mardie and Molly for dedicating more time to the Hornets. And to Susan Portland who will be moving into the role of Past President. Words cannot express our gratitude for your leadership these past two years.
