Hello!

My name is Courtney Boehm and I will be the Swim Team Manager this year. My kids have been on the team the past few years and we're excited to be a part of the team again this year! Please reach out if you have any questions. The swim team general email is: [email protected]. You can reach out there, to me directly or by text at 720-949-4422

****************************************************************************************

We are thrilled to kick off an exciting 2025 season with the Bear Creek Swim Team! This year brings fresh energy and leadership as we welcome Coach Suzanne Meyer as our new Head Coach!

Coach Suzanne comes to us with over 20 years of teaching and coaching experience at Thomas Jefferson High School (DPS).

She’s eager to create a fun, supportive, and competitive team environment.

  • Mondays in June (2, 9,16, 23, 30) 9:00-10:00 am
  • Cost is $100

6.  SWIMSUITS: So - here’s the deal. We’ve had several different suits over the past few years, and it’s sometimes hard to tell which swimmers are on our team. We’d love for our team to reset and have all of the kids in matching suits for meets!

What we need from you - please get your swimmers solid navy blue swimsuits. We have some great options on our Team Store, but you can choose to buy from anywhere.

**Please make sure your swimmer brings their suit to practice no later than Tuesday, May 27th. Earlier is even better! We are going to be attaching the logos during practice so we have matching suits in time for our first meet.

7.  SPIRIT WEAR: ***ORDERS DUE 5/12/25****

Our Team Store also has apparel, including sweats, parkas & tees. We even have women’s cut tees & tanks this year.

You can even order goggles for the season that will get delivered to you poolside!

8.  VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENTS: This year’s volunteer requirements are the same as last year. Families with one swimmer need 7 points and families with 2 or more swimmers need 8 volunteer points. Families can choose to purchase their points for $250. **Please note that the BCSTC volunteer requirements reflect the requirements for all teams in our league. For any questions about volunteer requirements, please contact Marla Lohmann.

9.  STROKE AND TURN JUDGE TRAINING:  Judging strokes and turns at meets counts towards volunteer credits.  Judges will assigned to a specific area of the pool to watch swimmers for correct starts, strokes, and finishes. They are responsible for marking the disqualified swimmer and the reason for the disqualification on the disqualification slip. They notify the Starter/Referee of all disqualifications. A class is required to be completed for Stroke and Turn Judges to be familiar with proper execution of all strokes and turns and League rules and regulation. The class will be held May 6th at Grant Ranch Clubhouse @ 5:30. This role is worth more volunteer credits than a timing job and you get the best seats in the house!

  • If you are interested in getting volunteer points by being a stroke and turn judge at swim meets, please plan to attend a training!
  • Training: Grant Ranch Clubhouse, Tuesday May 6th at 5:30pm.
