Buckeye Earns Runner Up Honors at Ohio Age Group Champs

By -
Our Buckeyes finished in 2nd place in the small team division at the Ohio Long Course Age Group Championships this past week-end.  The small team division is determined on July 1st each summer and is based on the number of 9-14 year old swimmers on our team roster.  Kudos to our swimmers and coaching staff for working hard and pushing each other to excel! You've made the Buckeye family proud!

This past winter we were able to qualify about a third of our 9-14 year old team to this meet.  This summer we took 10 of our qualifiers to the meet. A special congratulations to our participants: Grace Butcher, Lauren Ertz, Natalie Hegg, Bobbi Indest, Rachel Raque, Macey Swearingen, Graham Wedienhamer, Jeremy Baggs, Ellie Nebraska & Jeremy Karr.

Winter Break Schedule

The best part of school breaks is the opportunity to swim a little more and get a little faster! Swim teams everywhere look forward to school breaks.  Please work with your teammates to help get to as many practices as possible.  This is also an opportunity for you to drop off your swimmer and run errands child free! :)

The final schedule is below.  The only tentative practice is tomorrow morning (it is dependent on the morning lifeguard getting to the pool/home in time from college). We will text and Facebook this practice status later today.  Please do not come to practice if you are in school (we have had some questions about scheduling practice during school).  The only way we are able to fit all groups in at once is because over  half of our swimmers will still be in school.

Swim meets are a great opportunity for swimmers, parents, and coaches to see how all of the hard work during the season is paying off.  For parents, it’s also a time to meet other parents and have fun interaction while the swimmers are spending time with their teammates and making new friends from other teams.  The entire swimming community is great and th…
