• The Shocksheet Meet our Head Coaches
Hello Shockwaves! My name is Coach Almanza andI am the coach for the 11 and up Shockwaves. I began swimming at the age of 3, and began swimming competitively in Jr. High and high school. I began coaching high school swimming in 2009 at Cypress Woods High School. While there, I helped coach two state champions and one Olympian. I have been the head coach at Tomball Memorial High School for the last 2 years, where we've made a tradition of going to state each year. I'm also a mom of two rambunctious toddlers, two-year-old Grayson and oneyear-old Tomas. I’m also the wife of 9 years to my incredibly supportive husband Daniel. I'm so excited to be returning to the Shockwaves for my second year, I'm ready for a great season!
HOWDY! My name is Coach Kaiser, and I am the Head Coach of the 10 & Under Shockwaves. I began swimming competitively at the age of four, and I continued swimming in the Northwest Aquatic League for 14 years. In the summer of 1999, I started coaching in NWAL, and I coached with the same team for 12 years before my family and I moved to Tomball. This year is my second year as the Assistant Swim Coach at Tomball Memorial High School, where I also teach 10th and 11th grade English. I am also the mom of two energetic girls, ages 8 and 3, and the wife of almost 13 years to my husband Scott, whom I met while at school at Texas A & M University (WHOOP!). During my summer spare time, I combine my two passions and enjoy reading by the pool. I'm looking forward to an exciting and fun season with the Shockwaves!

Pep Rally! Party Time! At after the last practice we will ALL meet at the clubhouse and cheer on the Shockwaves! This week during practice there will be a manila folder at the sign in table. Order your family pizza and it will be delivered to the clubhouse at 6:30 on Friday! Please fill in all the information, name, how many of which pizza you want, your choices are large cheese or large pepperoni, the pizzas are $10 each. Then just leave a check made out to Crystal Seracy in the envelope! Checks need to be in the envelope by Thursday at 6pm. Please pick your pizza up by 7:30 on Friday. It will stay in a heated bag but we can't guarantee it's presence after 7:30. Kona ICEEEE!!!! will be there! We have arranged for every swimmer to get a free small Kona Ice! Parents and siblings who are in need of a delicious refreshing treat can purchase them... small $2, medium $3, and large $4. 20% of those sales go back to the team! There will be door prizes! You have to be present to win, the prizes will be Shocktastic! After we eat and socialize with the other parents and swimmers the coaches will do cheers with the team! We will end at 7:30 so that our swimmers can get a good nights sleep in preparation for Time Trials 2015!
Team Suits The Shockwaves are a unified and awesome team so we do require that all swimmers wear the official Shockwaves swimsuits at our meets. Female swimmers are also required to wear swim caps that we provide. Our team suits are available at D & J Sports, located on Spring Cypress across from WalMart. The suits are two-year suits which means we will wear the same design in 2016. With that in mind please only wear them at the meets, wash them gently, and they will look great much longer.
Private Lessons Lessons are $20 for 30 minutes. Time slots will begin at 7:30 and end at 8:30. If you would like to reserve a time you can sign up on the clipboard located at the check in table. For or any questions please contact Liz Taylor.
