"Welcome Letter"

Welcome

Maureen Kamischke and Sue Monthie are your new Team Managers. We are glad that you have chosen to spend part of your summer with the Kings Contrivance Swim Team. If you are new to our swim team, we welcome you to a great group of families dedicated to the enjoyment of watching their children improve their swimming skills over the next eight weeks. If you are a returning family, we welcome you back to another fun and rewarding swim season.

Welcome back to Head Coach Katie Faust and Assistant Coach Maggie Johnson! And we want to welcome Sebastian Berruz as the K.C. Waves new Assistant Coach.

The Kings Contrivance Swim Team is member of the Columbia Neighborhood Swim League (CNSL) sponsored by the Columbia Association. Better known as the KC Waves, the team works with the league to promote stronger, safer swimmers and to give swimmers a chance to test their performance in an atmosphere of fun and good sportsmanship. The purpose of the CNSL is to develop stronger, safer swimmers, provide a neighborhood athletic activity, introduce children to competitive swimming and provide this activity in a wholesome setting. Primarily an instructional league, the CNSL promotes the development of strong character, positive attitudes and a sense of responsibility.
