Swim A Thon


It’s that time of year again when we ask our swimmers to swim and fundraise for our team. We would like to encourage all of our swimmers to take part in this important annual event. All you need to do is collect sponsorships and donations over the next few weeks and then be ready to swim for 2 hours or 200 laps, whichever comes first. As you collect sponsorships, remember that you will be eligible for some great prizes!
All groups will be participating in the Swim A Thon on Sunday, November 12th during their normal practice time!  Remember that the funds you raise will go towards your swimmers required $75 fundraising fee.
All Money raised for the Swim A Thon will will due and collected on the following days during practice:
Wednesday, November 22nd 6:30-8:30
Thursday, November 23rd 4:30-6:30
Sunday, November 26th 1-3 
If you have not received a swim a thon packet please see either Ron or Laurie Sallows during Scarlet practice.  You can also email me at lesallows@columbus.rr.com and I can leave one with your child's coach.  Please remember that all packets must be returned or there will be a $1 charge per USA Swimming.

Extra T-Shirts

By
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

By
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...
