This is a quick reminder that there is an additional practice tonight from 6:00-7:30pm at DRAC.

Also, we have practice tomorrow morning from 6:00-7:30am. Rumor has it that it is the event of the year! You do not want to miss it!

See you at the pool,

We will continue with our altered holiday schedule next week. At DRAC we will swim Monday, Wednesday, and Friday half an hour earlier from 6:00-7:30am. We will have practice next Saturday (1/3). We will have normal practice time on Sunday at DRAC (8:30-10:00am). After that we will be back to our normal practice schedule.

I accidentally put in the table that Wednesday's practice is from 8:30-10:00am. It is from 6:00-7:30am. Sorry for the confusion!

We will have a slightly altered holiday schedule next week. At DRAC we will swim Monday, Wednesday, and Friday half an hour earlier from 6:00-7:30am. We will not have practice at Wright State on the Saturday after Christmas (12/27). We will have normal practice time on Sunday at DRAC (8:30-10:00am). The week after that will most likely be similar, except we will have Saturday practice at Wright State. I will send out another email once that schedule is confirmed.

Greene County is under a snow emergency level 2 so we do not have practice this morning.

Stay safe and stay warm!

This is an update to our inclement weather policy.

For DRAC we do not go by Beavercreek Schools anymore. DRAC will be close if there is a Greene County Snow Emergency Level 2.

Wright State will inform me of any closures and I will post the information in Band and send out an email.

Also, if you don't feel safe driving, then please stay safe and don't come to practice. This is just Masters!

See you at the pool!

One of our sharks is swimming away at the end of October. Patricia is moving to the greater DC area.

We will have a little going away party after practice on Sunday, October 26th for her. We would appreciate if you could bring something to share after practice or at least bring your appetite.

Come wish Patricia well. Practice is optional, but highly encouraged!

I know this is a little late, but I want to give a shout out to our Top 10 swimmers for SCY 2025!

• Matt Lashua and Joe Skotnicki both were Top 10 in 1 event each.
• Amanda Janszen, Barb Riazzi, and Shawn Blatt each had 2 Top 10 achievements.
• Mary Sullivan had 4 Top 10 achievements over two age groups!
• Emma Strom placed in the Top 10 in 5 events.
• Finally, Franklin Halley had an amazing 7 Top 10 finishes!

Congratulations to this wonderful group of swimmers!

One thing that really impressed me was that of the 24 Top 10 swims on our team, 19 of them were 200 yards or longer. What's really crazy, is that multiple Sharks placed in the Top 10 for some of the most formidable events. Four were the 1650, three were the 400 IM, and three were the 200 Fly. Caps off to you!

I'm feeling inspired and I hope you are too, because there is a meet at PCY in Cincinnati on Sunday, October 19th. You don't have to worry about missing practice, because practice is cancelled due to a Raider's swim meet.

This is an excellent opportunity to do some events that do not appear very often, like the 500 and the 1650. You can swim up to 6 individual events for only $30!! What a deal! 😲

Registration closes on Thursday, October 16, 2025 at 11:59pm.
