Meet Entry Deadlines Approaching

Please head to your Active Portal and accept or decline your entry into the next few meets.  The first deadline is for our May 12 meet in Akron - the deadline is Weds 4/25.  The next deadline is for our June 15-17 Meet at Denison- this deadline is Monday, April 30!

Communication Notes:

  • We will make every effort to add deadlines to the Event Schedule - this is an easy calendar to follow on Google, see on the TeamApp app or view on our Meet Schedule page.
  • We will make every effort to add meet info packets on the TeamApp app, onto the Event Calendar and in our website (via the OneDrive folders).
  • The meet schedule is posted in the TeamApp app, can be followed via Google Calendars and is on our website under the Meet Schedule page (it is in pdf form, calendar form and in grid form).
  • An earlier error on the Meet Schedule Page that had our One Drive grid from last year has been corrected.
  • As meet entry files are received from, they are imported into Active. Once we invite you to the meet, you can see it in your portal.

Why all the redundancy? 
We're just trying to make it as easy as possible to find the information you need in this highly digital world.  You will not get paper copies of any of this.  Pick your favorite 1-2 methods and check often. Always check your Active Portal weekly.

Extra T-Shirts

The Pollock Family has donated about 60 t-shirts sporting the new team logo to our Booster Club. The shirts come in a variety of colors and sizes. Each family will have their chance to pick ONE shirt on Monday or Tuesday at practice. On Wednesday, any shirts remaining will be available to anyone. A donation to the booster club for your shirt is optional. The kids are now receiving their team t-shirts that were made exclusively for kids and coaches. Kast-A-Way has not yet printed our red t-shirts, if you would like to order one I suggest you call today. These shirts are being printed on a light weight t-shirt from Sport Tek.

Coach of the Year

Dear Coach, Hope this email finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are writing today on behalf of the upcoming feature film COACH OF THE YEAR: an independent, kid-friendly sports comedy feature film based on the inspiring true story of a rag tag swim team that tries to win a state championship…without a pool to practice in. Director Dave Stott, who has coached swimming for twenty years, hopes that with this film, we will entertain and inspire kids all over the country to learn to swim. Another goal of this film is to raise awareness about drowning as the leading cause of accidental deaths and to help kids all over the country learn to swim safely. The underdog story has been told before, but not for our sport. This is a movie for swimmers (and would-be swimmers), made by people who know the sport intimately and love it passionately, and we’d love for you to be involved. We wanted to ask you and your team to help spread the word about COACH OF THE YEAR, and get you & you

Is my child ready to swim meets?

We had a coaches discussion on this  - and yes, all of our Elite group swimmers are ready for meets.  Please look at the meet calendar and sign up for the days that you are available.  We will pick events that are appropriate for your swimmer.  We pick events that your child can do well and will build their confidence.  We also believe strongly in placing your child in events that will challenge them.  While we strive for excellence, making a mistake in an event is OK and can be a great learning experience.  Trying and failing is teaches a lot more  about your abilities than not trying at all.
