Turkey Splash Team Challenge Success!
Our Turkey Splash Team Challenge Meet was a total team effort. We could not have done it without the leadership of our meet director, Jim Ronald and everyone working at the computer tables. Our Officials are the facilitators who make the meet happen, great job to them. Thank you to all the volunteers who timed, brought in food and kept a positive attitude. Working together is our goal.
The meet was a success as it was the largest number of athletes ever with over 400 swimmers! There was a learning curve for our 12 & under pool athletes, navigating the whistles and starts from 2 pools, but they got better as the meet went on. Coaches from other teams were very complimentary towards our running of the meet. Like everything we are doing, we are doing this for our children, so I thank you for helping make this event run smoothly!
The 50/50 Raffle raised over $900! This will be given to the family of Meradith Roberts, the Tonawanda Titans swimmer who had a liver transplant this month. If anyone who did not attend the meet would like to add to this donation, please contact me and I will point you in the right direction. We plan to give the donation to the family after Thanksgiving.
Our 108 TWST athletes posted 61% best times! The meet produced numerous new Niagara Champs Silver and Gold Meet qualifiers!
Be sure to keep those qualifying meets on your radar by checking the Meets/Events on our website. Qualifying times are found under each meet, as the meet information becomes available and under Times & Records Tab.
Congratulations to Lizzy Carducci, Chloe Boebel, Kelsey Duff and Mara Johnson who attended the Ladies NYS High School State Championships in Webster last weekend. So proud of their 200 Free relay that placed 25th and Chloe for your 14th place in the 100 backstroke!
All meet results can be found on our website under the Meets/Events Tab, 2025/2026 Meet Results. The IMX Report is found under the Swimmers Tab, 2025-2026 IMX and IMR drop down. Athletes completing their IMX and IMR will be receiving bag tags for the 2025-26 Season.
Practice Changes- It’s that time of year where practice changes are necessary since the Boys Varsity and Modified swim seasons are in full swing. Please check the calendar regularly.
Adopt-A-Family- For 25+ Years TWST has been partnering with Our Lady of Victory (OLV)- Baker Victory Services to make a family's holiday a little brighter. This year we have 2 sponsor families, our TWST families purchase gifts for those families. We often forget how lucky we are, and this is a very small way to help others in our community. Please consider helping if you are able. We have some items left on the Signup Genius. When looking at the wish list of items the families are requesting, it will put things in perspective to understand how lucky so many of us are.
The sign-up link for gift donations can be found on the website.
We wish all our families a fun-filled Thanksgiving Holiday and know we are grateful for your commitment to the team.
Happy Thanksgiving!
GO TWST!!
