Awards Banquet
Monday, July 19th -
We want to honor all of our swimmers and thank our coaches
and families by having an end-of-the-season Awards Banquet.
Please come if you can. All the kids will be getting an award.
We originally planned it for Saturday, July 24th but due to
scheduling conflicts we've had to change it to Monday, July 19th. It
will be held at the OSC pool beginning at 6:30 p.m. The team will
supply the hamburgers (we know you haven't had that in a while
;) ) and condiments and we're asking parents
to sign-up to bring a side item. Attached
is a list of suggested side items and we'll also post one
on the pool message board. You can sign-up for something there
or email back with what you'll bring and we'll add it to the list on
the board. Also, if you would please let us know by next
Friday (7/16) how many in your family will be coming, it would help
out a lot.
** The big City Meet is next Friday and Saturday! We will be posting information (parking, tent set up location, etc.) on the team bulletin board as well as sending you an email with this info soon. Or . . . you can always check the CASL website for this (and more) information. ** Parent Survey. Also, HERE is a parent survey which we would like everyone to fill out regarding our coaches. You can print the attached form and complete it or take one from the pool message board to fill out. There will be a box in front of the message board for you to drop the surveys in. The box will be there through the night of the banquet for your convenience. Please take this opportunity to give us your feedback. News: ** Certain swimming still open for members during evening practice which is now 6:30pm - 7:30pm The Tidal Waves will have the entire big pool during that time with the lane with the slide in addition to the baby pool to remain open for pool members during swim practice this season.
** Job sign ups for Friday
and Monday's Meets -
Please be sure to check our volunteer sign up board the next time
you are at the pool. We always try and have it sitting out along
with the vacation board. At last glance we were still in need
of filling some jobs for the Friday Fun Meet (sign up on the back)
as well as Monday's home meet.
** Parking Guidelines Remember to park only in the OSC pool parking lot. If this is full, please use the parking lot beside the OSC gym. Do not park in the baseball sport's lot nor Fit One's parking lot. ** Team Cheer contest Winner Annouced! Congratulations to Madeline for winning the team Cheer contest!

City Meet -
We have extended the City Meet sign
up until Monday, June 21st. Your payment must accompany your
registration and your check should be made out to OSC
Tidal Waves (If you made your check out last night to
just OSC, that's OK.) If you need information pertaining
to the City Meet, our website has a link to CASL (or go to
www.chattanoogaswim.com). Under
the heading "City Meet Dates", click "2010 City Meet Info". If you
have additional questions, please contact our pool reps, Stephanie
Huskins 423-596-9401 or Missy Burks 423-504-6057.
Instructions for signing up: Attached is
a copy of the events (2 pages). Print and staple the two pages
together, circle up to 5 individual events within your child's age
bracket that they want to swim (don't circle any relays), print the
swimmers name in the top right corner of the form, and if your
swimmer wants to swim in a relay put "available for relay" under
their name. Coach Joanna will determine the relay teams. If you
can't decide which events to select, write that on the form
and indicate how many individual events they would like to swim.
When Coach Joanna gets the form, she will pick the events for you
and let you know. The price is $7 per individual participant
for organizational fees ($6 CASL and $1 OSC) plus $3 per individual
event. (ie: $22 for 5 events, $19 for 4 events, $16 for 3 events,
etc.) You do not need to pay for any relay costs. The team will
cover this.
** Home Meets - Below
are a few changes to try and make our home meets run smoother:
1) OSC swimmers need to check in at the front table so we know
they are present.
2) Copies of the heat sheets (like what is posted on the
fence showing the swimmers and their events) will be available at
the front table for $1.
3) The pool deck from the diving blocks back will be reserved
for swimmers only. We will have tents and
signs designating age brackets for the younger swimmers. If you see
a sign with your swimmers age on it, they need to sit with
their group throughout the meet. Parents can set up anywhere
else and are welcome to check on their child as needed, but we need
the kids to stay with their age group at all times except for
restroom trips.
4) During the meets, if you have any questions or problems
related to your swimmer's events, please discuss
this with the pool reps Stephanie Huskins and Missy Burks and not
the coaches or officials. Our pool reps know the procedures to
follow to get your problem resolved.
** Fundraisers:
We have two fundraisers
scheduled for Saturday, June 26th. The first is a pancake breakfast
from 8:30 a.m. till 10:30 a.m. at Beef-O-Brady's just down from the
Ooltewah Publix . We are asking each family to try and sell at
least 10 tickets at $5 each and then come join us for a great
breakfast. After the breakfast, from 11:00am till 4:00pm, we will
hold a car wash at the Wendy's in Ooltewah at the corner of Hwy 11
and Ooltewah-Georgetown Rd. Anyone who can, we would appreciate
your help with the car wash. We'll need buckets, sponges, towels,
and chamois/shammy. Please label your items if possible so we can
be sure you get them back. All of the proceeds will go towards the
team for needs such as a starter and PA system, which would have
helped tremendously at our last meet so please come help support
your team in this effort. Thanks!
