Hello Otters! 

My name is Coach Samuel and I am very excited for another great summer! For our returning swimmers and families, welcome back! For those of you who are joining the team for the first time this year, welcome, and I look forward to getting to know you. Before I started coaching for Hampton Ridge, I was a swim coach with the Marlins of Raleigh, for 7 years. I swam for the Marlins since I was 8 until I graduated high school, where I was also fortunate enough to swim at Cary High School. This will be the fourth summer that I have coached at Hampton Ridge, and I am hoping to continue the trend of fun, successful summers full of improvement that we have had the last few years! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] or 919-323-0705. I am also looking at having swim lessons on saturday mornings this summer, and am trying to get those scheduled earlier in the summer than in years past, so please feel free to reach out to me if that is something that interests you! Our first practice will be on Tuesday May 26th, and I can’t wait to see everybody there! Again, welcome or welcome back, and I look forward to a great summer! Coach Samuel
