FROM THE COACHING STAFF

BTW Swim Families,

On Thursday, January 7th, we will be hosting a 3 site Hornet Invitational "Semi-Virtual" meet. The following teams will tentatively swim at each location (Coach Adina is finalizing the teams and swimmer counts for each team).

BTW: Oologah (16 swimmers), Bishop Kelley (24 swimmers); Memorial (~5); Cascia Hall (2-3) and Metro Christian (1-2) plus the ~30 BTW Varsity and JV swimmers who may commit.

Bixby: Fort Gibson, Yukon and Bixby

Muskogee: Muskogee will swim at their home pool

We will combine results from each site after the meet is complete and generate overall results. There will be no awards (trophies or awards).

We will have no spectators on deck, but we will be doing a livestream of the BTW site meet.

The meet will start at 5:30 pm. We will let the BTW Swimmers know the arrival time for warm-ups before Thursday evening. Attendance from classes will be excused. Please eat before you come to the pool and be sure to bring enough water and snacks. Swimmers will not be allowed to leave the pool or school grounds between warm-ups and the start of the meet.

Please see the SwimTopia job signups for arrival times of all volunteers. (Job Sign Up is active now. Click on the green Job Signup button next to the meet info on the Meets & Events page of the website to volunteer.) Computer & Dak operations, Health Check-in Table volunteers need to arrive by 4 pm. All other volunteers (lane timers, etc.) and officials should arrive by 5:00 - 5:10 pm. We're only needing 6 lane timers - 1 per lane. We will also need a bottled water donation for coaches and officials as well.

Any open timer spots will be released to our visiting team parents at 5pm on Wednesday, January 6th.

BTW Swimmers will be socially distanced along the yellow benches on the locker side and deep end wall - we will set up cafeteria chairs for our team and they will need to stay where they are placed. Do not bring any gear (fins/paddles/boards,etc) to the pool. Do bring backup goggles, BTW caps, and a backup swimsuit (last year's team suit or a plain one.)

Thank you!
