Masters: Speedo Sectionals Volunteering

Dear Masters Swimmers:
In the Fall, I sent a note asking that you mark your calendars so that you can volunteer during our Speedo Sectional meet here, March 1-4. Please consider giving back to the District and the Aquatic Center, and, considering that we are going to miss practices the second half of that week, you might consider coming here to volunteer during that period.

I attached some of the responsibility areas, but I will need specific help in the areas "nearest the pool," ie, areas where experienced swimmers know how to handle things. SPECIFICALLY: I need members to help who are familiar with timing systems and with Hy-Tek (I can train you during HS meets in the next month). Please do help, take off work, and get FREE MEALS and tee-shirts during the times you volunteer. I also may need concessions volunteers.

Please send me back areas you would be interested in helping, and what dates and times. March 1: 5:00pm to 9:00pm. March 2-4: 8am to 1:00pm and 5pm to 9pm.

Reminder: Tulsa Masters Holiday Party-- Saturday, Dec 17th!

Just a quick reminder about the Tulsa Masters Christmas Party this Saturday, December 17th. Don and Nancy Nelson are our hosts. Bring a side dish and join your fellow swimmers for some dry land fun. All members should have received an invitation in the mail. If you didn't, or you've lost yours.... I've attached a flyer with all the details.

Also, don't forget to renew your USMS/TMSC membership for 2012 before December 31st.

That's all for now. See you at the pool!

TMSC annual club meeting minutes 11/19/2011

Hello, Swimmers

Attached are the minutes from the annual TMSC club meeting, held November 19, 2011 and the Jenks Aquatic Center.

Thanks to all of you who participated in the November birthday workout and to those of you who stayed for the meeting and refreshments afterwards. It was a fun day!

I also want to thank all of you for supporting Tulsa Masters this year. It is great to see so many people in the pool! I hope to hear from many of you regarding the needs we have to make 2012 another successful year. (See attached!).

Personally, thanks to all of you that I routinely come to for advice and encouragement. So many of you are willing to help when called upon and even when I don't ask. I truly appreciate you. Special thanks to Steve Lee, Dewey Smith and John Kopsky for trying to save me from myself! :) To all the newest members of the club, thanks for giving me so many fun people to swim with. You are the reason I look forward to practice every day!

Please contact me if you have any questions, suggestions, and ESPECIALLY if you can take on one of the many volunteer duties listed in the meeting minutes.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Denise Smart
President, Tulsa Masters Swim Club

Thanksgiving week swim schedule!

Yes, we will be swimming next week at the Jenks pool. George will be gone starting Tuesday evening, but we will try hard to carry on without him! :)

Here is the schedule for next week:

Monday: normal schedule for all 3 workouts

Tuesday: lunch and evening workouts

Wednesday: 6 am workout ONLY

Thursday: NO SWIM

Friday: 8 am only

Saturday: normal 8 am workout

Other stuff:
We might still be able to get in on the can food drive. The boxes were still there when I left the pool tonight. Bring your cans and make the masters group look good!

One last reminder about the November b-day workout Saturday at 8 am. We will congregate in the classroom for refreshments after swimming all the birthday sets in the pool! I'll have the Tulsa Masters swim caps at the pool that day. $5. Get one!

See you in the pool!!

Denise.

Stroke Clinic

I’d like to host a stroke clinic on Saturday, 12th November. This is FREE to Masters swimmers who have paid November dues. I will host this during the regular Saturday morning swim time (8-10am), and will focus on freestyle technique, and may touch on backstroke as well. I’ll spend the first 1 hour of the period on the clinic, after which time you can stay for additional swimming.

Since we have the use of the facility to ourselves at that time, anyone choosing to forego the clinic can do practice as usual. We’ll just separate the groups into the two pools.

See you at the pool!
