Swim-a-Thon

Swimmers should be underway with their fundraising for the 2024 Fall Swim-a-Thon.  I sent an email to you from the online system with information for online collecting. Please encourage swimmers to do their own fundraising.  They can write personalized letters/emails for online collection or write a script for face-to-face fundraising.  Click here for an example.

There is over $2,000 logged so far! 

Thank You Notes

This Wednesday there will be a table setup, at the pool, for swimmers to write thank you notes to our wonderful 2024-2025 sponsors and donors. 

Please check out the bottom of our website home page for the updated sponsors!

BDST Meet Summary by John

The Newport Swim Team opened their 2024-25 season sending 9 swimmers to Dallas, Oregon for the BDST Fall Invitational Oct. 19 & 20. Superior Aquatics out of Medford beat the 7 other teams in attendance, scoring 1036 points, while NST scored 164 points for 6th place.

But the local swimmers really shined in setting personal best times. Out of the total of 40 individual swims, NST recorded 34 personal bests. Six (6) of the nine swimmers had perfect days in establishing PR's.

Jacob Hoffman (13), Patti Parker (11) and newcomer Xander Florian (12) each went 6 PR's

out of 6 total swims, just behind them: Charlotte Wienert (9) went 5 for 5, first-time racer Slate Steenkolk (16) went  4 for 4, Ava Weinert (8) 3 for 3 and Ashley Conrad (13) 2 for 2. Mariam Kimberly picked up 2 PRs, while 17 yr old NHS Senior Ben Hurty won all 3 of his events on Sunday - 200 Free, 100 Fly and 50 Free.

NST is next in action Nov 1-3 at the Turkey Invite in Albany.
