  • June 29th Car Wash is CANCELLED.  Please be prepared to sign up for the August 3rd Car Wash.  

 

  • Reminder from the Newport Aquatic Center-12 and under swimmers are not allowed on deck without an NST Coach/Parent, this is a pool rule and applied to all swim patrons. If a 13 and over swimmer is on the deck without Coach/Parent then they need to be seated on the bleachers until the Coach shows up.  We recognize this may happen more on Wednesdays with early release from school. If 12 and unders are there early without a parent, they are not allowed on the swim deck/bleachers until an NST Coach arrives.  

 

Howard Jones Meet Summary by John-

Newport Swim Team                         6/24/24

The 2024 Howard Jones Open swim meet was held at the Mt Hood Community College Aquatic Center June 20-23. This outdoor 50- meter facility hosted 18 Oregon swim teams and over 670 swimmers took part. Lake Oswego Swim Club won both the boys and girls team titles, while 5 Newport girls took part and were able to finish in 11th place in the girls team scores. Individually, each of the local ladies showed off their abilities with multiple personal best times, top 10 placings in their age group and qualifying times for State Champs next month and in the case of 14 yr. old Gwynn Postlewait, a time standard for the Senior Zones Championships in Clovis, Calif in late July. Overall, out of a total of 25 swims by the NST girls, they posted 16 personal best times!!

Zoey Chappell, 10 -only competed on Sunday, but had an outstanding day. She raced 3 times, all 3 PR’s, in the 10 & Under division, winning the 200 IM and 50 Free and 3rd in the 50 Breaststroke and recorded one new 11 yr old Oregon A qualifying time.

Skyla Chen, 12 – raced 6 times and posted 4 PR’s, placed 9th in the 100 Butterfly.

Ruby Perucci, 15 – competing with the 15 & Over group (which say numerous 18 and older competitors) posted 3 PRs in her 3 races and had a best placing of 38th in the 200 Backstroke.

Gwynn Postlewait, 14 – competing in the 13-14 girls’ division, had 2 PR’s out of her 6 races, placed 3rd in the 100 & 200 Breaststroke and 50 Free, recorded 2 Oregon Swimming Championship A times. She also recorded a Bonus qualifying time in the 200 Breaststroke along with her A time in the 50 Free for the Senior Zones mentioned above.

Kenlie Ware, 8 – had an outstanding meet, posting PRs in 4 of her 6 races, recording two 9 yr old A times for the State Champs in the 50 Back and 100 Free. But most significant was her placing among other 8-year-olds. Racing in the 10 and Under division, her best finish was 17th in the 200 Free and 19th in the 100 Breast. But her finishes just among the 8-year-olds showed a 2nd, 3rd, two - 4th places and two 6th places.

Great Job ladies!!!!
