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 Thursday, May 26, 2011 at 6:00 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:

Practice Schedule
We will start each group at the time indicated below. When the swimmers arrive, they are to wait on deck behind their lanes (they will be given assigned lanes by the second week of practice) until a coach gives them instructions. Handing out of ribbon awards or coach’s talks will be done at the beginning of practice.

Working Swim Meets / Official’s Clinic
Please note that swim team parents are required to work at least 4 meets. Sign up sheets will be posted at the pool at the beginning of the season. Please sign up as soon as possible or contact Kathryn Staten to offer your assistance. The team also needs more parents interested in being officials at our swim meets. This year's GDSA Official's Training Clinic will be held on Saturday, June 11, 2011 at TBA at Woodhaven. Officials will receive worker credit for both their initial shadowing and working they do at each meet.
