Pool Committee Forming

Update - we are still looking for 2-3 more people (have 3).  Really you just need to be upbeat and have the ability to keep me (Laurie) focused and moving towards digging a hole and filling it with water.  I'd like to meet this week, so please respond today that you want to join us!

We are forming a pool committee to help us get this pool built and up and running.  We now have land options and need to make some decisions in the coming weeks to get moving forward again.  We need a group of people to start helping in order to see this to the end!  Here is what we are looking for:

  • Anyone that is positive, motivated and can do research necessary to help build (talking to architects, engineers, builders, etc).
  • Anyone that has experience or connections with the things we need:
    • Excavating
    • Plumbing
    • Electric
    • Engineering (Civil & Structural)
    • Building/Construction
    • Home builders
    • Concrete work
We would like to see if we can entice a home builder or construction company to build our building (locker rooms and offices) at or below costs in exchange for a year of free swim lessons to give to their future clients.  If anyone knows of such a builder, please get them in front of us.

Email Coach Laurie if you would like to help!

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.

Mandatory SafeSport Training for Parents and Athletes

Every two years USA Swimming requires each SafeSport designated club to refresh their policies and renew their education base. As one of the first 50 clubs in the country to hold the SafeSport designation, Buckeye is continuing to lead the way in creating multiple paths towards protecting our athletes in and out of the water.  We have completed every step to renew our designation except education.  It is now time for each parent  on our team and swimmers 12 and over   to take the SafeSport course.  In order to do so you must have an account at USA Swimming.   Parents:   please take the course while waiting at practice or meet warmups.  It's quick and very informative.   Swimmers: this is a great way to spend your drive time to the pool (if you aren't driving of course). You may find the courses here: https://learn.usaswimming.org/?_ga=2.187740008.1509141630.1622943692-1206834513.1608482483 Please complete the course by Jun...
