If your children enjoy swimming, we would love to have them on the Swim Team. It is a great opportunity for kids (ages 4-18) to learn valuable swimming skills, while being part of a team. We have approximately 100 swimmers on the Woodhaven Swim Team each summer. We swim in the Greater Dayton Swimming Association (GDSA) League made up of 9 clubs from the Greater Dayton area. To learn more about the GDSA League, see www.gdsaswim.com website.

Parent’s Meeting
The date for the parents meeting is Friday, May 28, 2010 at 6:30 p.m. at Woodhaven. This will be a “meet the coaches” evening. A packet with all pertinent information about the swim team will be distributed. This will also be a great opportunity to meet the coaches and learn their objectives for the team this season. If you cannot attend, the packet will be available in the pool office during regular hours. For questions, concerns, or suggestions, you can contact the Swim Committee by email at:
