“Our swim team is definitely back,” said Winter-White. “The goal is to sign up 50 swim team members.”
Winter-White said the team went away in 2008, but is making a comeback with swimming coach Cammie Hunt, who is recruiting boys and girls ages 5 and up. Youth must know swimming basics such as treading water and swimming laps before joining the team. Swimmers will learn freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly.
Winter-White said Big Ridge will be the 16th team in the Chattanooga Area Swim League. The team’s home turf will be the Olympic-size Big Ridge Pool with two diving boards inside Colonial Shores. Swim meets begin in mid-June.
She said the Colonial Shores HOA is also interested in signing up Big Ridge Pool members.
