Pictures
I would like to rotate a few pictures through the webpage and put them on the bulletin board in the YMCA hallway. I need about 6-10 pictures of two or more of the swimmers doing anything except swimming laps. I would like group shots in the pool, playing games together, group poses, etc. Please email these to me.
Upcoming Meets
The Team Unify program has been working well. It is important that you pay attention to what you are doing when signing up for three day meets. You should read the attached meet information document so you know when the sessions are scheduled. I would also appreciate it if you would mark down if you are declining to go to the meet also. Thanks for your patience with this program.
Paying your team and meet fees
It is important that you make sure your team and meet fees are paid up when registering for the swim meets. We will withhold your entries if theses fees are not paid. Yesterday was the day that you were supposed to commit to the team, and pay for the whole season or set up the payment plan. Contact Cara Roach or Kim Burgess if there are any questions.
Talking to coaches at swim meets
Please remember that your child needs to talk to the coaches when he or she finishes swimming an event. The coaches will have some valuable information to share with your child.
High School Swimmers
High school swimmers are allowed to practice with us all season. In fact we want them to. They can swim in YMCA meets up until the first high school meet. In order to swim in YMCA championships, all swimmers must swim in at least three YMCA swim meets.
Pull Buoys and Flippers
These items are not required for 11 and older swimmers. However, I strongly encourage these swimmers to get these two items.
Officials Clinics
I appreciate that some of you are interested in becoming officials. There are not many training sessions left. The details are on the SW Ohio YMCA Website under clinics.

Purple File Folder Box
Each family will have a file folder in this box that is kept at the front desk. We will keep invoices, notes and ribbons and other information in these folders.
Competitive swimming can be an excellent preparation for life in many respects. It teaches children to work hard, work intelligently and to persevere. It is an exciting sport for children of all ages.
The winter season runs September - March. Practices are held in the Y pool between 6:00p and 7:30p Please see our bulletin board for details.
Swim Team is for Full Members only. Clinton County YMCA Fins Swim Team is part of the Southwest Ohio Cluster League.
This year we added a Pre-Team for more information about this please give us a call.
For more information, call Cara Roach at (937) 382-9622
