Buckeye Swimming

Pool repairs, while delayed, are going very well.  Fixed to date:

Entire pool has been repaintedThe leak has been located and has been partially repaired, the rest to be repaired this week.The underwater lights are repaired and working! The club intends to refill on Friday.  We will have practice Saturday morning for Senior, NPG, Junior and Scarlet Gold at 7 am.  Please come prepared to do dry land.  We will not have Silver practice at the pool Saturday morning.  Silver Recreation and Silver Competition are welcome to attend practice Sunday 3:30-4:30.
All swimmers should be prepared for dry land these first few days as it will take some time to heat the pool. 

We have updated our meet schedule and uploaded the pdf to the website here:  Meet Schedule
This is up to date through the summer long course season.

New this year, you will be able to view meet host information packets directly in the google calendar.

We have removed the October Dayton meet from the calendar altogether.  We have added the Ohio Swimming Safe Sport Pentathlon on October 7.  This is a local meet with a very important message.  The age group swimmers season plan was not originally set up to be prepared for competition by October 7.  We will not change our preparation, however we believe this will be an important learning experience beyond the pursuit of best times and did not want to miss the opportunity.

We have a verbal agreement from Aquatic Adventures in Hilliard to rent their pool (6 lanes) from 5:30-7:15 Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week.We will have our swimmers in as follows:

The pool is set to beginning draining for repairs on Monday, September 10. Repairs and refilling the pool are expected to take ONE week. We have scheduled three practices for the week of September 10 as follows: Monday, Wednesday and Thursday 4:00-5:30 at the Worthington Pools outdoor Adult Lap pool. We understand that many of our swimmers will not be able to arrive until close to 4:30, we will organize practice to put swimmers in as they arrive. The following groups should attend all three days: Scarlet 1, 2, Gold, Junior, High School, Senior & NPG. The following groups should attend Monday and Thursday only: Silver Competition, Silver Recreation, Scarlet 3. Intro group swimmers should attend this week in lieu of next weeks practices.

We announced earlier that we have added some practices.  We thought it would be useful to use the following chart for the next two weeks schedule!  We will have these updated on our Google calendars as well!

The 2018-19 Information and fees are now available on our website or by clicking here.
Unfortunately, we aren't able to collect registration at this time.  We are having complications with the Active system and collection of high processing fees.  We are working on this and will let you know as soon as registration is available.  We do anticipate releasing group recommendations on Monday or Tuesday.

We are working on fall information.  No huge changes are planned, but we are trying to expand our introductory and recreational groups. This is proving difficult to work into our schedule, thus the delay.

We will finish our regular season of practices for all Intro, Silver and Scarlet swimmers Wednesday evening, July 18. Please check the Google calendar before heading to practice.  

We do still have a handful of swimmers training for meets that are scheduled for the first weekend of August,  we may occasionally invite groups in to keep them company.  Just watch the Google  calendar or team app for those notices.

Gold group will have Junior group testing next week.  Schedule TBA, but very similar to current schedule.  We want everyone in to swim the 2000 for time, even if they are not considering moving groups.

Have a happy and safe 4th of July!

We have added a long course practice for our Regional participants on Sunday, July 1 from 10:30-Noon.  The practice will be held at the Gahanna Swim Club  (148 Parkland Dr, Gahanna, OH 43230).

This practice will replace our Scarlet & Silver practice that would normally have been offered on July 4.  It will also provide our regional swimmers with an opportunity to practice in the competition pool.

We anticipate having extra room and will have a spare lane available from 10-noon for any of our team swimmers that feel like getting in an extra swim.  Please email Coach Laurie if you would like to utilize the spare lane.

We are participating in a ticket sales fundraiser for the TYR Pro Series at Ohio State July 6-8.  This meet will feature numerous NATIONAL TEAMERS plus our very own Elizabeth Intihar (on Saturday in the 400 IM & 200 FREE)!  If you are not at Regionals, we highly recommend going.

Fundraiser idea:  organize a group of your summer swim teammates to go together!  Purchase tickets for the group or give them our code.
