Welcome to the Tornados!
Welcome to the BEST part of growing up in Thornhill -- the Tornados summer swim team! For more than two decades, Thornhill residents have been gathering as a community to improve their swim skills and have FUN!
Swimtopia
The Greater Charlotte Swim League has adopted Swimtopia as a central tool for meet management, and we will also use it for registration and for communicating to all of our Tornado families! An account will be created upon registration, so download the app today for easy access!
Team Suits
The Tornados will have a new team suit this year that is available in our new Swimoutlet.com team store! Legacy suits are always welcome -- we love seeing our swimmers in suits from years past!
Swim Caps
Many of our swimmers love to wear fun and colorful caps, and we enjoy seeing them at practice! For meets we request that all swimmers wear the green Thornhill Tornado team swim caps. Each swimmer will receive one latex cap at no cost; replacement caps are $5.
Parent Volunteers
Our swim team cannot operate without our fabulous parent volunteers! We ask that each family volunteer at a minimum of three meets. We excuse our shrimp (6 and under) families, as these swimmers do the first event and will be done early in the meet. Information about volunteering will be published in the coming weeks -- we appreciate your support!
Greater Charlotte Swim League Policies
Thornhill participates in the Greater Charlotte Swim League, and as such we must abide by their by-laws. GCSL requires that all swimmers be capable of swimming the length of the pool without assistance by the second meet. Teams are expected to self-regulate to ensure compliance with this policy.
