Greetings Predators,

I wanted to let everyone know that I send out communications, but am typically not the correct person to contact with questions regarding swimming, volunteering, etc (I am for events, though :) ). I list who to contact in the emails. The board members and coaches have their contact information on the Swimtopia website. We are also fortunate to be a neighborhood team, so everyone is listed in the directory as well. When you email me, I might not see it in a timely manner due to work, emails going to the junk file, etc.  

For quick reference:

Swim board: https://owlcreekswimteam.swimtopia.com/swim-board

Coaches: https://owlcreekswimteam.swimtopia.com/coaches

1. Attached are the results for the WST meet. 

2. Attached are the Volunteers assignments for Thursdays meet against Douglas Hills.  Please direct any questions to Holly. 

3. DH meet theme is Hawaiian. Bring your A-game and show DH we know how to throw down when it comes to themes. Arrival time is 4:30 PM. Heat sheets will be sent out once they are available (probably tomorrow). However, events are loaded in the swimtopia app now. DH is a LSA 1 team and have a larger team. Please expect a later meet. 

4. We will have time trials held on Thursday, July 6th during big kid practices (9:15 AM). If your swimmer is close to a LSA cut time, but does not get it this week, they can try for it at a time trial. If you are requesting a time trial, please plan to help volunteer as we have to set it up as a meet with timers and officials. Brooke will do stroke and turn and start. If you are a parent who can help time (we probably need 4), please let me know. Please let Coach Kelly know by Friday June 30th. 

5. If your child has swam for OC for TEN years, please let Casey Maudlin know ASAP (502-592-3669<-- correct phone number) so they can be properly recognized at the banquet.

6. How to know if your child has a LSA cut time--please refer to the results document attached and from previously sent emails. The LSA 2 cut time is at the top by each event. If your child is AT that time or faster AND has swam in at least TWO meets, they will be eligible for quals (youngers will be on July 11th at Woodhaven; olders are July 12th at WST, championships are at OC on July 16th--this will be an "all hands on deck" to help make the event happen).

If your child is CLOSE to a cut time, you can request for them to swim a time trial on July 6th. Please contact Coach Kelly directly by Friday June 30th about your child doing a time trial. If you are unsure what close is, please talk with the coaches--they will be able to advise.

7. Upcoming dates/events are below.  Next email will also start including the sign-up genius links for help for the pasta dinner, banquet, etc.
