HUSTLE & HEART
Tell us about a student who stands outThe Dalton Daily Citizen’s Hustle & Heart feature recognizes local students making their mark through athletics and competition — not only through talent and achievement, but through leadership, dedication, perseverance, sportsmanship and the way they encourage and mentor others.

Traditional school sports, esports, fishing, cheer, dance and other competitive activities are all welcome.

Know a student who’s got the hustle — and the heart to back it up? Tell us who they are, what they do and what makes them stand out.

Send the student’s name, school, activity and story, along with one or two action or profile photos of the student, to [email protected]

Suggestions will be considered for future Hustle & Heart features.

💦 5 WEEKS TO GO! 💦

We’re officially just FIVE weeks away from Coahulla Creek Swim! 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️

Swimming may look like an individual sport from the stands, but some of the best moments happen when you’re racing for something bigger than yourself. Your teammates are cheering from behind the blocks, counting on you to do your part and ready to celebrate together when you touch that wall. 💙

“Strong teams are built by swimmers who show up for each other.”

Whether you’re a returning C**t or thinking about giving high school swim a try for the first time, there’s a lane for you at the Creek.

💭 QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
⚓️ If you could choose your spot on a relay — lead-off, middle, or anchor — which would you want and why?

🐎 Every week brings us one splash closer.
5 weeks until we’re back in the water together.

🐟💦 FISH OUTTA WATER FRIDAY! 💦🐟

No pool. No goggles. No problem. 😎

The C**ts traded an early-morning swim wake-up for a different kind of early call today! ⏰🏈 CCHS was featured on Channel 3’s Friday Morning Football, and we spotted quite a few familiar faces who got up extra early to show some Creek spirit! 💙🤍

👀 C**ts swimmers spotted outta water:
Teyah • C**ton • Luke • Joseph • Anna-Kate • Ella

📣 And look who traded their swim caps for pom-poms this morning — Caroline & Amelia! Our swimmer-cheerleaders were already hard at work bringing the C**t spirit!

From the pool deck to the sidelines, we love seeing our swimmers showing up for their school and supporting their fellow C**ts. 🐎💙

Swim together. Cheer together. C**ts everywhere.

💦 7 WEEKS TO GO, COLTS! 🐎

We’ve reached the final seven weeks of our countdown — and that means it’s time for our Class of 2027 to lead us toward the season! 💙🤍

There’s something special about a senior season. One last year to race with your teammates, represent your school, chase your goals, and make the kind of memories that last long after the final touch.

“The best way to finish strong is to remember what you started for.”

This week’s countdown reminds us that every practice, every early morning, every hard set and every stroke has been building toward something. Now it’s almost time to see what this season holds. 💪🏼🏊‍♂️

💬 QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Seniors, what are you most looking forward to about your final high school swim season?
And underclassmen — what’s one thing you hope to accomplish this year?

🐎 Every week brings us one stroke closer.

💦 8 WEEKS TO GO, COLTS! 💦

The countdown keeps moving, and every week we’re getting closer to seeing these lanes filled with C**ts again! 🏊‍♂️🐎

Leadership doesn’t always have to be loud. Sometimes it looks like consistency, experience, quietly putting in the work, and setting the pace for the people swimming beside you.

As we get closer to the season, we’re celebrating the returning swimmers who help make this team what it is — and next week, our countdown turns toward a pretty special group: our SENIORS! 🎓💙🤍

And because seven seniors deserve more than a countdown graphic, keep watching for our Saturday Senior Spotlights as we get closer to the season! 👀

💬 QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Backstroke, butterfly, breaststroke or freestyle — which stroke is YOUR favorite to swim or watch? 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️

C.O.L.T.S.
Committed • Optimistic • Leaders who are Trustworthy & Strong

🏊💙 9 Weeks Until Swim Season!

Every season is filled with opportunities.

Some opportunities are expected. Others arrive when you least expect them.

The key is to be ready.

Every practice, every workout, and every lap is preparing you for a moment you may not even see coming yet. Keep showing up. Keep believing. Keep doing the little things that make a big difference.

As the countdown continues, we’re excited to see returning swimmers, welcome new teammates, and begin another season of growth, encouragement, and C**t pride.

💙 C.O.L.T.S.
Committed • Optimistic • Leaders who are Trustworthy & Strong

🐎 With every week, we’re one stroke closer.
9 weeks until we’re back in the water together. 💙🏊

If you could give one piece of advice to a first-year high school swimmer, what would it be?
