The Dolphin group is for swimmers that are 6th grade and younger that are close to achieving a “B” time. These swimmers must have 4 legal strokes. This group will emphasize stroke development and endurance in preparation for competition. Come prepared to work hard and have fun!
Janet Oles, Barracudas Coach: Coach Oles has been coaching since 1992 and is now our Barracuda coach. She started at OTAC and moved to HAST when the pool was first opened in 1993. Janet has been involved with the development of Hilltop from day one. Janet envisioned a team that cities from all around would feed. Thus the name Hilltop. A team set on a hill which the community would look to. Janet is a Level 2 ASCA coach and has been an assistant Zone’s coach for the State of Utah. Janet’s daughter (Sonrisa) swam at BYU and understands the long range development of a swimmer from a parents’ point of view. Janet was named Utah Swimming Age Group Coach of the Year for 2001, but feels her biggest honor came when the kids honored her after their State Championship win in March 2001. Janet says that the kids’ examples have taught her courage, the importance of a good attitude, and the determination to never give up (even when your tired) in her own personal life.
