USA Swimming Safety Contest

Calling all athlete members! We need your talent and vision! Bring us your original poster designs. The poster must be about safety in the pool (competition or training) or open water (competition or training) or dryland (training), the rest is up to your imagination.

From the LSC winners the Safety Education Committee will pick 10 posters to be displayed at Olympic Trials. The Grand Prize winner will be selected at Olympic Trials based on voting by visitors to the display.

All athlete members are eligible. Contact your LSC’s Office or your LSC’s Safety Chair - John Pristash at jpristash@bex.net for details on how to submit your Safety Poster.

Team T-shirt Orders

Parents you may order a t-shirt for yourself by reply email with your size. They are $10 for parents (we already have swimmers sizes and there is no charge for swimmers tees) So! Yours truly has finally gotten it together and figured out a t-shirt for the season. I was having extreme difficulty settling on something that captured how I felt about all the greatness going on in our program and the amazing loyalty we have from our families. Finally we have something - it is at the printer and should be to us in a week or so. They will not begin printing until next week, so parents can order shirts (kids get them as part of your fees). Just let me know what size you want, payment is due to the boosters on receipt of the shirt. This is a white 100% cotton pre-shrunk t-shirt with "Buckeye Proud" on the back and our team logo on the front left chest. Orders are due Tuesday morning.

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.
