The Christian Community
Seahawks Summer Swim Team at TAC
June 7 - July 29, 2010
The
Seahawks are currently enjoying their thirteenth year of competitive
swimming and their 8th summer as a neighborhood club. As a summer
club, we are official members of the Tarheel Swimming Association
(TSA). The team is coached by Matt Finneran, homeschool dad of six
children. Matt has 19 years age group swim coaching experience and
also served as the head coach of the NC State men’s water polo team for
7 years. The focus of the summer program is to develop confident
Christian swimmers who are skilled in all strokes and gain the benefits
of disciplined training. Members of the summer Seahawks Swim Club will
be eligible to compete in any or all of the Seahawks’ six scheduled
TSA meets and the championship meet in July. (See flyer for practice times and costs.)
Why a Christian Swim Club?
The Christian Community Swim Club is designed to provide a wholesome
foundation for families who desire a swim club guided by Christian
values. We believe children are our most important investment. And, as
parents, if we’re not careful with our children’s choices and
influences we may reap negative results regarding their character and
spiritual growth. Today’s youth are being led down a path that fosters
immorality, immodest dress, and a lack of respect for parents and
authority. Our answer to this ever-growing crisis is to encourage
honor, modesty and purity among the children in all our activities at
the swim team.
Membership Requirement
We’re looking for families who desire to raise their children under a
Christian influence and believe that membership in The Christian
Community Swim Club TAC would be beneficial for their children’s
spiritual protection, growth and maturity. If you’d enjoy fellowship
with like-minded families who share these same hopes for their
children, then we invite you to consider our swim team for your family
this summer.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; Who pardons
all our iniquities; Who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life
from the pit; Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; Who
satisfies your years with good things, so that your youth is renewed
like the eagle. -Psalm 103:1-5
