Texting Mania

By -
In speaking with the coaches, we have all noticed an increase in casual texts to us from parents.  And often times, the parents actually want to speak about something important.  Over the course of the Regional week-end our entire staff was inundated with texts starting at 4:55 am and going as late as 11 pm.  While texting is a very convenient way to ask a quick question or to let us know that you're running late, please think before sending that text. If it takes more than 160 characters to convey what you wish, please email or call.  If it is an important subject to you, please email or call. If we don't have a gaggle of kids around us before or after practice, you are also welcome to speak to us there.  If we do have a gaggle of kids, it may be hard for us to appropriately respond to you, but by all means try (we do like speaking with you)!

Thanks,
Your Buckeye Coaching Staff

2016-17 Team Information

By -
Our information and schedule for the 2016-17 season is now available!
Important changes to note:

The fundraising fee is required, but gives you an opportunity to fund raise the cost of your typical fees.  You can always write a check for fundraising instead of participating.We have at least two travel meets on the schedule.  One in March for the Senior group, and one in April for our age groupers (in Clearwater, FL with time standards).  Those that attend will have the opportunity to put 50% of monies raised over their minimum in a  travel account to help with the cost of attending those meets.The Scarlet group fee is for this WINTER, we expect spring and summer training to run at about $500-600.  When you add in the extras we charged last year (fundraising, MC Fitness surcharge) the increase in fees is between 2-5%We will only collect registration and meet fees at active.com.  This saves us about 3% on processing.  You can either set up monthly electronic installment payments with me …

Spring & Summer 2017 Practice Schedule and Fees
Hi Buckeyes! Our spring & summer information is now available.  This includes the spring schedule, group & fee information.  The summer schedule is still being finalized but will be similar to last summer. We are thrilled to announce that we have signed a one year agreement with the Sports Club for continued use of their facilities.  We continue to keep conversations open with MC Fitness although they have moved to a 12& over rental platform. Our group system remains largely intact, with further delineation within each program.  This will help us give each swimmer the best training they need for their interests, age, and abilities.  Group recommendations were emailed through the Active Portal. Note: Scarlet, Junior & Senior groups are competitive training programs with a focus on succeeding in USA Swimming competitions.  These groups are a spring AND summer commitment with an expectation that swimmers wil…
