Life Time Oregon Swim Team Weekly Update: 2/25/2024

Danny Weinberg

Hello Swim Team!

We hope that you all had a great weekend!  Here’s our weekly update! 

Congratulations Simon!

Congratulations to Simon Boariu who represented our team at the Oregon Swimming 11-14 State Championships this past Friday in Corvallis!  Simon swam personal bests in the 200 IM and 50 Breaststroke.  Most importantly, he gained some valuable experience that will help him at future state competitions.  This is just the start, and we are looking forward to bringing a larger group of swimmers to this meet in future seasons!

Next Developmental Meet- Friday, March 15th

Our next developmental meet will be on Friday, March 15th at 4:30 PM.  We hope that all team members will attend! 

Swimmers who have swum in our previous developmental meets were sent a sign-up link on 2/25.  See the article Complete meet delcarations as a parent/ guardian for more information.  

New swimmers who have not created a Swimmingly account must do so to enter the meet. Please scan the QR code to create an account.  (Please do not scan the QR code if you already have an account!)

I have added 11&O 25-yard Freestyle and Backstroke races to the event list for this meet.  Only swimmers on our developmental team are permitted to swim in these events.  USA swimmers will be removed and placed in a different event if they enter. 

I would love for our USA swimmers to pick 1-2 of the following events to swim at this meet (200 Free, 100 Back, 100 Breast, 100 Fly, 200 IM). 

Upcoming USA Meet

John Haring Memorial Classic @ Chehalem Aquatic Center- March 16th-17th 

This is being advertised as a championship meet for swimmers that did not qualify for the Oregon State Championship meets.  Sign-up has closed, but if you missed the deadline and are still interested, please email me ASAP and we will try to get you in.    

  • 10&U- Will swim timed finals during the Saturday AM session. 
  • 11-12- Will swim prelims on Saturday and Sunday AM sessions.
  • 13&O- Prelims will take place after the 11-12 session on Saturday/ Sunday.  Times are TBA. 

Quick Notes:

  • Several Developmental 1 swimmers have been swimming the full hour in recent weeks.  I will be reaching out to these families to confirm that this is something that you want to continue to do moving forward. 

 

  • USA Team—Please try to order a snorkel and fins if you have not done so. You can find our recommended snorkel and fins under the “Team Apparel and Equipment” tab on our website.   

 

  • Team records are now updated on our website (Meet & Events -> Team Records).  These records will likely fall frequently, but its fun to see our progress.  Team records can only be attained in USA sanctioned meets. 

Please let us know if you have questions!
