From the Coaches

• Catch up on Swimmer of the Week-
  • For the first week of October, and the first week of in-season swimming, Claire Lloyd was SOW. Claire has a strong work ethic and never complains about the set, or the distance, or the stroke or the speed. She has emerged as a leader on the team and works well with the other seniors to help motivate and support the team.
  • Last week's SOW was Aarron. Aaron worked hard last week to overcome some challenges and set some personal goals for himself. The coaches could not be more proud of his growth and commitment. He has come such a long way and should have an excellent racing season. 
• Practice this week:
  • Monday and Tuesday- pool opens at 2:45 and practice is from 3-5:15. If you are in town, the coaches expect to see you there. It is not optional.
  • Wednesday and Friday-Normal practice
  • Thursday is our Black and Orange scrimmage. Swimmers will stay at the pool until after the scrimmage, We expect to be done before 7 if all goes well.
• Wednesday Pasta Party-Pasta party at Coach V's house is on Wed. directly following practice. There are still some items that need to be signed up for. Please pick up your swimmer by 8:30. 
  • 2606 W, Apache St.
    Tulsa, OK 74127
• Black and Orange-Please feel free to invite friends and family. We need to create a true meet environment. Swimmers need to bring enough food and snacks to last through the meet. The snack closet will not be available as we want to create an experience as close to a real meet as possible. At away meets, there is no snack closet. Swimmers should wear black pants and jackets on Thursday. 
  • Swimmers will go to Braums directly following the meet for food and bonding.

• We are still collecting swimmer dues ($100/swimmer; Due October 15)
• Please send your payments to our swim team Venmo, @Timothy-Ford-153 or Tim can arrange to collect a check from you (made out to BTW Swim Booster Club).
• In the subject/memo line, please indicate what you're paying for
• We also will take any snack donations (money preferred) to help keep the swimmers' snack pantry stocked!
• A reminder that we also would love for you to consider a team sponsorship! Any amount is greatly appreciated to help us cover our expenses for this year. Please reach out to Tim Ford, Treasurer, if you'd like to discuss a sponsorship!
