COACH JADEN
My name is Jaden. I am 25 and I live in Greeley, and I am getting married in May! I started swimming when I was 11 and continued until my senior year of high school. I coached the Johnstown TRPR swim team for three seasons right after graduation, and I also coached cross country at Milliken Middle School. I currently teach 6th grade at University Middle School.
COACH CAROLYN
My name is Carolyn Werner. I’m super excited to be joining the Kingfish Swim Team! My family and I moved to Greeley 2.5 years ago from Lincoln, NE. My husband, Dan, is retired from the military and we have a 3-year-old son, Jaxson.
My passion for swimming began at a young age. I joined my first swim team, Great Plains Aquatics Club (GPAC) when I was 6. Swimming became a way of life for me. I qualified for Zones at age 9, and by the time I was age 12, I was practicing twice a day for National Sectional meets. In addition to my club swimming, I swam for my local community pool during the summer and my high school during the high school season. When I wasn’t in practice I would be teaching swimming lessons for the local Red Cross. While swimming was a great activity to keep a kid out of trouble and exercising. It taught me numerous valuable life lessons, including teamwork, determination, persistence, accountability, individuality, and many more.
I can’t wait to meet all of you for a great summer swimming season!

Meets:
We have dual meets - against one other team - and meets that involve all four Greeley teams.
Swimmers must participate in at least two meets. If your swimmer qualifies for State, and wants to participate, their rule is that swimmers must participate in at least 2 dual meets, so it is our rule, too.
Equipment:
Swimmers must provide their own swimsuit and goggles.
A Kingfish team cap is required. This is our team uniform. Kingfish caps will be available for purchase.
If you have a cap from a previous year, you do not need to purchase a new one.
All other equipment is provided - kickboards, pull buoys, paddles, and fins! If you choose to bring and use your own equipment, please make sure they are labeled.
Cost:
If you are a Class A or Class C member of Kelly Farm Pool - $120 PER SWIMMER
If you are NOT a member of Kelly Farm Pool - $150 PER SWIMMER
(This might be a great time to consider joining Kelly Farm Pool! Go to kellyfarmpool.org/membership if you are interested in learning more about membership at Kelly Farm Pool, and saving money on your swim team registration.)
We accept payment by cash or check, or credit card! With credit card payment, there is a fee of 2.9% + $0.30 with each transaction. Debit cards are not accepted.
Volunteer Requirement:
All of our meets--except Swimapalooza--will be meets where swimmers can potentially qualify for the State Meet. In order to make this possible, we need a lot of volunteers for each meet. A volunteer deposit of $85/family is required. It will be refunded when the volunteer requirement is fulfilled. By the beginning of the season, we will know how many volunteer shifts each family will need to do -- probably 2-3 -- and put out sign-ups for each meet. Since most families will fulfill their requirement and have their deposit returned, we ask that this be a separate check, due Monday, June 5th, payable to KFPRA (Kelly Farm Pool & Racquet Association)
Registration Deadline: May 10, 2024. Late registration subject to availability.
