Simon Boariu: Five new best times including a 7 second drop in the 100 Breaststroke!

We’ve had a great first year as a registered USA affiliated team!  We are looking forward to continuing to improve in our coming seasons!

End of Season + Fall Practice Times

As our spectacular summer season comes to a close after our final swim meet on August 9th, our swimmers will take a well-deserved short break before diving back in for our fall season starting on Wednesday, September 4th. We’re hoping  to see all our summer swimmers continue their journey with either our developmental team or USA team in the fall!

We’re working hard to keep our practice times consistent, but with our team growing stronger and bigger, we might need to make slight adjustments each year to accommodate our rising number of athletes. Check out the link to our tentative fall schedule below.

TENTATIVE FALL PRACTICE SCHEDULE

Get to know the specific training groups we offer by checking out our group descriptions here:

Life Time Swim Team Oregon Group Descriptions

We’re currently finalizing fall group placements. Most swimmers will stay in their current groups, with our 8&U summer swim team members coached by Coach Danny moving to Development 1, and our 9&O summer swim team members coached by Coach Julie moving to Development 2.

We’ll be reaching out to swimmers receiving group promotions before the summer season wraps up on August 9th. Remember, while group descriptions outline the “requirements” for each level, all placement decisions are ultimately at the discretion of our coaching staff.

Let’s keep the momentum and excitement going as we transition into an incredible fall season!

Fall Registration:

 

We are currently setting up online registration for the Fall that allows you to register your athlete through the app.  It should be available on August 12th.  All returning swimmers will need to re-register through the app to secure their spot on the team. I will send out a QRG showing families how to complete online registration once it is up and running.   

See you at the pool!
