We’ve tried to keep this matter within our team, but due to recent events, we feel it’s important to share more publicly in order to maintain transparency while an ongoing investigation continues.

It was recently confirmed that our former treasurer stole team funds. A police report has been filed, and the matter is now with the authorities. The individual no longer has access to any accounts and is no longer involved with the board.

This was a painful breach of trust for our team and community. The former treasurer’s long-standing position and reputation in El Dorado allowed her to operate without the accountability that should have been in place. This betrayal has deeply affected many of us, but it has also reminded us how important transparency and shared responsibility are moving forward.

It’s also been reported that the former treasurer engaged in similar behavior with other local organizations—further proof this was not an isolated act.

While the team will be able to begin the season, the financial impact of this loss means some important purchases and improvements will take longer to achieve. Equipment upgrades and other investments that strengthen our program may need to be spread out over the next few years as we rebuild.

If you’d like to support the team during this time—whether by donating, volunteering, or helping spread the word—your involvement will make a meaningful difference as we move forward.

Thank you for your continued support—our swimmers and families are what make this team strong!
