Hope everyone had a relaxing Fourth of July holiday.  The second half of the season is now upon us and we have an away meet against the Courtside Stingrays this Saturday. Please keep in mind that the pool dimension at Courside is in meters and not in yards so there will be slight adjustment necessary to get the equivalent times for a 25 yard pool. Read more...]

Some important things to remember for our first meet of the year. We can ease our way into the season nice and slow, unlike last year where we had a tri-meet at home for the first meet of the year. We'll be going against the Northwood Knights so get your Colony gear on and let's show them our team spirit.

  1. The volunteer schedules are posted for the meets now. If you go to the Meets/Volunteer section at our website, www.colonyredhots.org, there is a Jobs link next to each meet. Please make sure you fulfill your volunteer hours.Read more...
