Earlier this April, Matthew Erickson, grandfather of Thunderfish swimmer McKenna, was honored during the annual Franklin Johnson Sr. Citizenship Awards ceremony. What we didn't know at the time was that the Erickson family had selected the Naugatuck Thunderfish Swim Club as the beneficiary of this event.

We are incredibly honored and grateful to accept this donation in Matt's honor.

For Coach Brandi, this recognition is especially meaningful. More than 25 years ago, she came through the Naugatuck Thunderfish program alongside McKenna's mom, Caitlin. Back then, Thunderfish was a place where every swimmer belonged, where athletes were encouraged to strive for their personal bests, and where teammates supported one another every step of the way.

When Coach Brandi returned as a coach, her goal was to build and continue that same culture—a team where swimmers feel welcomed, challenged, supported, and valued. We are proud that those values remain at the heart of our program today.

We are deeply thankful that the Erickson family sees the Naugatuck Thunderfish Swim Club as a positive influence for the youth of Naugatuck and our surrounding communities. Their generosity and support mean so much to our swimmers, coaches, and families.

Thank you, Erickson family, for your kindness, your support, and for helping us continue to make a difference in the lives of young athletes.

🏊‍♂️💙 Distance Trifecta Challenge Update! 💙🏊‍♂️

This week, 20 Thunderfish swimmers took on the 1000-yard challenge and absolutely crushed it!

Even more impressive? 18 of those swimmers posted best times! 🔥👏

Watching our athletes push past their comfort zones, set goals, and discover what they're capable of is what this challenge is all about.

Looking ahead, we have one more stop on the journey—the 1500-yard swim to complete the Distance Trifecta Challenge. Right now, 17 swimmers are still eligible to earn the prize - if they're willing to rise to the challenge and finish all three distance events!

Who's ready to dig deep, keep going when it gets tough, and earn their place in the Trifecta Club? 💪🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️

Let's do this, Thunderfish! ⚡🐟

🥊💥 **Let’s get ready to rumble!** 💥🥊

The pool is decorated, the coaches are pumped up, and we can’t wait for our swimmers to show off their skills!

Tonight’s Boys vs. Girls Meet is more than just a competition—it’s a night full of team spirit, friendly rivalries, loud cheers, and unforgettable memories. Will the boys power their way to victory? Will the girls swim away with the title? There’s only one way to find out!

Expect exciting races, plenty of laughter, and maybe even a little coach trash talk along the way.

No matter which side comes out on top, we already know the real winners are our swimmers. They’ve worked hard all season, supported one another, and grown tremendously in and out of the water.

So wear your team colors, bring your loudest cheers, and get ready for a night of fast swimming and even faster fun!

Did you know that learning to swim is an important life skill—not just a sport? 💙🌊

As we recognize National Water Safety Month, we want to encourage families to help children become confident and comfortable in the water through quality swim lessons and water safety education.

Strong swimmers are built step by step, and every great competitive swimmer starts with the basics: safety, confidence, and technique.

When your swimmer is ready to take the next step into competition, teamwork, and goal-setting, the Thunderfish will be ready to welcome them! 🏊‍♂️💥 Tryouts will be in early October for our Fall Season!

This week was **Backstroke Week**! 🏊‍♂️💙

Our Thunderfish spent the week focused on improving every aspect of their backstroke. From drills and body position to speed and efficiency, swimmers worked hard to build strong habits in the water.

One of the highlights was watching swimmers analyze both their own strokes and their teammates' strokes, learning what great technique looks like and helping each other improve. It's amazing to see how much they can learn when they become students of the sport as well as athletes.

Great job this week, Thunderfish! Keep working hard, keep learning, and keep getting better every day!

May is National Water Safety Month 💙🏊‍♂️

One of the greatest gifts you can give a child is confidence and safety in the water. Swim lessons (Naugatuck Park & Rec, Naugatuck YMCA or Noah’s Ark Swim School Southbury) build the foundation for water safety, comfort, and strong lifelong skills both in and around the pool.

While competitive swimming may not be the first step for every child, it can be an amazing next step once they are ready! Our team is built on that strong foundation, and we love helping swimmers grow into confident athletes, teammates, and leaders.

Start with safety. Build confidence. Then come race with us when you’re ready 💥
