  • Thank you for your patience in this process, launching a new website registration is a challenge!

Zones Recap

  • The Central Zone Championships wrapped up yesterday, congratulations to Bryn and Lucy for representing Team Ohio!
  • The zone meet requires swimmers to have earned an AAA cut in an event. This is a major accomplishment and it was amazing to see them swim well and gain this experience!

New Website

  • Once we are through registration, news and communication will begin coming exclusively from the new website. 
  • The new website is fully updated with the seasons information and once we are in the season, the current website will no longer be updated.

Full Group Get Togethers

  • The exact details for these are in the works and we want to wait until registration for new families opens to release any specific information but to keep you in the loop, full group organized get togethers are in the process of being planned.
  • These will be opportunities for swimmers in a group level to socialize together.
  • We will be holding these as full group gatherings:
    • HS/SR: TBD
    • Gold: TBD
    • Silver: TBD
    • Bronze: TBD

 

That is all for now, have a great rest of your day and we will see you at the pool and in the next newsletter!
