monday’s meet @ forest hills in middletown

Posted by kathie on July 8, 2011

Monday, July 11, 2011 is a non-league meet against Forest Hills. They’re one of the teams that always participates in and supports our Invitational. The pool is located in the Forest Hills Country Club in Middletown. As with all away meets we will warm up second so please be on deck at 5:15 for 5:30 warm-ups.

This meet will have a different order of events and they do not run a Clerk of Course so you’ll want to be alert to which events are happening and help your younger swimmers get to their lanes/blocks at the right time. Here is the event order:

The address is Forest Hills Country Club, 791 4th Avenue, Middletown, OH 45044-4211

meet #6 (#5 really though) @ Idle Hour

Posted by kathie on July 5, 2011

July 7, 2011 is the date for our meet at Idle Hour in Beavercreek. Swimmers need to be on deck no later than 5:15 PM. They’re in the pool at 5:30. The meet begins at 6:00 PM. Please allow at least 45 minutes travel time. Make sure to check in with Amanda when you arrive so she can check you off. And bring all the usual stuff: caps, goggles, towels, snacks, water, chairs, things-to-occupy-the-time.

Idle Hour has very few lights so this meet will likely not finish. In order to give the late-event swimmers a chance to swim their events, this meet will run backwards like at Preble County:
71-80 Free Relays
61-70 Butterfly
53-60 Long Free
41-52 Backstroke
31-40 Breaststroke
19-30 Freestyle
11-18 Individual Medley (Fly, Back, Breast, Free)
01-10 Medley Relay (Back, Breast, Fly, Free)

35th gator invitational

Posted by kathie on June 23, 2011

The Invitational will be held Saturday, June 25, at the Germantown Aquatic Center. The Gator swimmers will be warming up in the pool at 7:30 AM and the meet will begin promptly at 8:30 AM.

This year the Gators welcome swimmers from West Carrollton, Walnut Grove, Forest Hills and Woodhaven. There are approximately 200 swimmers involved and we expect the meet to end about 1:15 PM. Bring plenty of towels and sunscreen and set up your “camp” in our usual Bullpen area. This is different than in years past when we all set up out in the park to save the inside-the-fence area for our guests.
