Elana Topelson
Tommy Kane
Elana is a really hard worker
and always shows up to practice
with a big smile on her face! She
had a great meet this weekend and
even swam the 25 breaststroke, an
event she did not want to swim, but
did just to be a good sport! All of
her coaches have seen so much
improvement from the beginning of
the season and we are very
impressed with Elana's growth as a
swimmer. Congratulations Elana
keep up the good work!
Tommy Kane is a really hard
worker and loves the sport of
swimming. Although he is only six,
he swam 3 individual events plus
relays! And after one quick
breaststroke lesson, he was able to
help out the team and swim the
breaststroke in the medley relay.
He is a pleasure to have in practice
and always has a great attitude.
He's improved a lot in the past two
weeks and all of his coaches are
SUPER proud of him. Great job
Tommy!

Dylan Silva
We are lucky as a coaching staff to
coach kids like Dylan. He is a
talented swimmer, a hard worker,
and a bundle of joy to be around.
He is an all-round athlete
participating in a number of different
sport, but still he comes to swim
practice each day to work hard.
Now that the morning practices
have started he has begun to swim
up an age group with the 9-10 age
group. This is merely a testament to
his talent and his devotion to the
team. He swims in every meet and
every time he comes, he comes to
win. Dylan is an incredible swimmer
and we are lucky to have him on
the team.

Kate Kieran
Kate is another example of a
dedicate simmer who works hard
and her hard work shows in her
swimming. Kate comes to swim
practice, rain or shine, cold or hot,
and is one of the first swimmers in
the pool daily. She will swim any set
we give her without complaining or
refusal and she approaches the set
with a tenacity; she tries very hard
to swim fast on every set. This
approach translates to her meets
too. She performs at a high level in
meets and has fun doing it. She is
great to have in the pool and I look
forward to coaching her for years to
come

Olivia Cutter
Olivia has worked hard in practice
every day she has come. It is clear
that Olivia want to win and she
know that practicing hard is the way
to get on top. Olivia enjoys leading
her lane even in the hard sets. On
top of practice she has worked on
her strokes, her start, and her turns.
This effort paid off in the meet. In
this meet, Olivia did great in helping
her team win the girls 9-10 relays.
Olivia also did great in her
individual event. She helped earn
necessary points that led to our
meet success. Keep it up Oli!
– Coach Eric
Zach Holder
Zach is the breast stroke king. It is
obvious that Zach enjoys swimming
breast and he is good at it. In the
meet Zach placed first in his breast
stroke. Zach is also determined to
improve in practice. He is a good
listener, even when his head is
under the water! Congrats Zach,
and Happy Birthday!

Julie Plumleigh
Julie is the epitome of a Hills West
Wave. She is a dedicated swimmer
with a can-do attitude and a very
friendly demeanor. She is
committed to the team and comes
to practice everyday, even with her
busy schedule. This makes her a
true pleasure to coach! Already this
season I can tell her stroke is
improving and her speed at meets
is as well. She is a great listener
and a lane leader. Her potential in
the sport truly limitless!

Joel Douglas
Joel is a fantastic swimmer who has
improved greatly from the beginning
of the season. His interest in the
specifics of swimming has allowed
him to fine tune his stroke and will
definitely being cutting time
throughout the summer. He is also
a very essential swimmer to the
team and has shown great success
in his relays and individual events.
Joel can go on to be a great
swimmer with his dedication and
attitude.

Adam Barrett
Adam has a competitive
spirit that is rare for someone his
age. He knows what it takes to be
on top and he will get there one
way or another! However, he
remains respectful and humble both
in practice and in meets. These are
two qualities that all amazing
athletes share! Adam works without
complaining in every practice he
attends, and when race time
comes, he just turn on his
competitive nature and brings it
home for the Waves every time! He
won both the 50 and 100 free this
meet, and helped the 15 and 18
boys win the free relay! Keep up the
good work, Adam!

Escie Alemayehu
Escie is a very talented
swimmer! She works hard in the
water, whether that be in practice or

not go unnoticed by her coaches,
and it is a pleasure to watch her
improve from meet to meet. This
past weekend, Escie scored a lot of
points for our team and
demonstrated what it means to be a
humble winner! Way to go Escie,
keep up the good work!
