Team Sopris is an integral part of our community. We are excited to be receiving their support for the new Carbondale Aquatics Center and seeing them return. Below is a letter from Steve Vanderhoof, the head coach, about the support and exciting return!

Bringing Competitive Swimming Back to Carbondale

It is with great enthusiasm that I announce Team Sopris will be instrumental in organizing and operating a USA Swimming, swim team at the new Carbondale pool. As the head swim coach for Team Sopris, I am incredibly excited to bring our Team and competitive swimming back to Carbondale. This community has a rich history of fostering talented swimmers, and we are thrilled to reignite that legacy with our program.

At Team Sopris, we provide a supportive and challenging environment for young athletes to develop their swimming skills, build confidence, and achieve their goals. The new Carbondale swimming pool offers state-of-the-art facilities that will enable us to train our swimmers effectively and host competitive events.

We look forward to welcoming new and returning swimmers to the team, and we are committed to helping each athlete reach their full potential. Together, we will create a vibrant and thriving swimming community in Carbondale. Let’s dive into this exciting new chapter and make waves together!
