High School Swim Team Update - Week of 12/15/25

Good morning everyone,

Excellent meets last week! The boys team added wins against Perry, Shaker, and Brunswick to improve to 5-1. The girls team added wins against Perry and Shaker also reaching 5-1. Swimmers combined to set 130 season best times over the meets! Results files and top times have been updated on the team website. The password to access these pages is Swim2526. Please take a look at our reminders and weekly schedule included below.



Reminders:
1.) We are in need of a few timers for our home meet on Fri 12/19 at UH Wellness. If you are able to help time, please use the timer volunteer sheet linked here. A big thank you to everyone that has volunteered so far!
2.) The invitational Saturday 12/20 has qualifying times for entry. Athletes that have met a qualifying time in the last year have been notified. Prelims will take place in the morning and finals in the evening. Last year, Spire indicated they would not let teams stay between sessions. It sounds like that may be possible again this year, but not to the extent it was in the past (with air mattresses etc). If able, we will stay between sessions. If unable, we will return to Mentor during the break. Swimmers may also opt to sign out with their parents between sessions.
3.) The pasta party this week will be held at 7552 Bay Ridge Ct. Please drive safely and remember to thank the hosts!
4.) Senior night will be held on Fri 1/9 against South at the UH Wellness Center. Senior recognition will start the meet at 6:00 pm.
5.) We are struggling as a team with the number of absences. Please try to work on consistent attendance. Please try to use the make-up practice in the evening if you can't attend after school. If using the makeup practice in place of an afternoon practice, please be sure to use the signup sheet linked here.
6.) For practice, please bring your suit, towel, goggles, cap (if you prefer one), and water bottle (if you prefer one).
