Highland Lakes

The Highland Hurricanes have a rich tradition of competition and camaraderie. Coach Doug Miller will start working with children as soon as they can successfully swim the length of a lane up until they graduate from high school. Weekly meets against other lake teams in the Lakeland Conference are held on Wednesday nights at home or away. The Highland Lakes Invitational is held on the last Saturday of July, and the team travels to day-long invitationals on most Saturdays during the summer—directions to meets, as well as line-ups, are always posted on the team bulletin board under the clubhouse deck.

Parent support is an essential component of the team’s success — parent chaperones help make “away” travel to meets possible. Team president Bob Acker holds at least two parent meetings a year, and the team cannot run without parents and other adults who are willing to sell concessions, officiate, and score the meets. To ensure that everyone involved participates in an appropriate manner, there is a code of conduct for everyone involved (all swim team members, parents, volunteers and coaches) that defines expectations of behavior.
