Have you ever wanted 'front row seats' to a swim meet?  Be on the deck where the action is?  Understand more about strokes, rules?  Well, you can do all that as an official!  We can always use more officials at our meets.  Especially parents of  younger swimmers.  There will be two Level 1 officials clinics in October.

Pre-registration is required.  Without sufficient students, class will be cancelled.  Notice only provided to pre-registered students.

There is now one Level 1 Official Clinic and a Level 2 Clinic

Due to the ever increasing size of the Southeast Ohio/West Virginia Swim League (the league in which our team participates in) there will now be 2 championship meets:

• An “A” Regional Championship meet which will take place February 28^th.  Location(s) to be announced later.  
• The “AA” Championship meet which will take place March 7^th and 8^th at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio.

ALL 13 & Older swimmers are automatically eligible to participate in the “AA” meet. 

Any 12 & Under swimmers achieving a “AA” qualifying time at any YMCA swim meets throughout the season will also be eligible to participate in the “AA” meet.

The “A” Regional Championship meet is open to all 12 & Under swimmers who have not achieved a “AA” time.  Any 12 & Under swimmer who achieves a “AA” time at the “A” Regional Championship meet in an event will BECOME

eligible to participate in the “AA” Championship meet in March.

Coach Carmen will discuss these championship meets in more detail at the parent meeting on Wed. Oct.1st @ 7:00pm.  Please plan on attending so that she may answer any questions that you will likely have concerning these meets.

 *** Please, keep in mind, that swimmers still need to participate in 3 meets throughout the season and have your parent volunteer credits obtained in order to participate in either of the championship meets.***

 The AA qualifyng times will be posted soon under Time Standards.

Each swimmer will be given a team latex swim cap.  This is the only acceptable cap to be worn during swim meets if your swimmer wears a cap.  You may purchase a silicone team cap for an extra $5 or $6 during registration.

The team suit or a black suit is the required attire for all regular season meets.  Championship meets are the exception to this rule in which the swimmers will be allowed to wear 'championship' suits.

I recently updated the email list and sent out an important email.  Unfortunately, some of the emails bounced back.  I have listed those emails that came back to me.  If you would please look over this list and send me (cdhowell@juno.com) the correct email, I'd very much appreciate it.  Also, there may be some of you who have not yet signed up but expect to be signing up,  you can email me and ask to be included in the email list.  I will post the email here soon.

This year, the Seeeya Swim Team will participate in USA Swimming.  To compete in USA swim meets, you must register for membership and pay a yearly fee ($54). Typically, USA meets run Friday through Sunday and they are Invitationals, meaning you pick what to swim.  You don't have to swim all three days, you can swim just one of the three days.  

We have added three USA meets to our schedule:

 Oct 10- 12:  WTRC Fall Invitational - Washington Twp Rec Center, Centerville, OH

Dec 19 - 21:  GCSTO 2008 Holiday Invitational, Columbus Academy, Columbus, OH

 Feb 6 - 8:  GCSTO Ned Reeb Memorial Last Ditch Invitational, Columbus Academy, Columbus, OH
