Hello swimming friends!
I'm sending one more plea to ask for your help at the Speedo USA Swimming Region VIII Sectional Championship this coming weekend, March 1- March 4th at the Jenks Trojan Aquatic Center. MANY volunteer slots are still available every day of the meet. YOUR help is needed to make this meet great. 2012 is an Olympic year. This meet will feature swimmers who've already qualified for the Olympic Trials or who may qualify during this event. You might witness a potential TEAM USA medal winner at the London Olympics swimming in OUR pool in OUR town! At last report, there are over 600 swimmers entered in this meet. THIS IS A BIG DEAL!!!
Please think about all the things you do in life that require volunteers to make a great experience. I'm not just talking about sporting events. Whether you are a organizer, participant or beneficiary of these events, you know that volunteers make the event. Many unpaid volunteers who have "other lives" are already putting their heart and souls into making this a great experience for these swimmers. Let's show our appreciation by filling the open slots.
Even if you are not swimming at the Jenks pool, please consider volunteering your time. Tulsa Masters and USMS have already benefitted from (and will continue to do so) the support of Jenks Public Schools, Jenks Community Education and Jenks Trojan Swim Club. Getting involved in this meet is a great way say THANKS.
It is easy to sign up for an open slot. An on line 'job signup' sheet is available. Many openings are still available. Some jobs require knowledge of competitive swimming, some do not. There is a brief description of each job on the sign up sheet. Most of the slots require a 4 hr commitment; a few less than that. Your significant other can help, too. Scroll through the list to see the available positions, the time slot, and the names of those who've already made a commitment (thank you!).

You are done. THANKS very much.
If you have specific questions, you can contact me or George Villarreal, george.villarreal@jenksps.org.

Thank you for your time!

FIRST Request: VOLUNTEER
MANY volunteers are still needed for the Speedo Region VIII Sectional Championships hosted by Jenks Public School District and the Jenks Trojan Swim Club, March 1- 4. This is the most prestigious event yet to be held at the new Jenks Trojan Aquatic Center. For more information on the event itself, go to:
http://www.jenksswimclub.com/EventShow.jsp?returnPage=%2FEventsCurrent.jsp&id=178519&team=osjtsc
Thanks to all of you who've already committed your personal time to help at this event. There are still MANY slots to fill! Please consider volunteering for even just one slot during this four day weekend. This is not just a "Jenks thing". This is a swimming "community" thing. JPS and JTSC are very supportive of masters swimming. Masters swimmers have the opportunity to work out in the best pool in the country; we have the opportunity to host masters meets, INCLUDING the 2013 Zone Meet, in the best pool in the country; and members of JTSC have offered to assist at our events. Let's continue to work together to promote swimming for ALL ages.
An on line 'job signup' sheet is available. There are many openings available. Some jobs require knowledge of competitive swimming, some do not. There is a brief description of each job on the sign up sheet. Examples of open positions include: timers, runners, safety marshals, hospitality room, awards, concessions, console operator assistant. You can scroll through the list and see who else has signed up. You can also enlist the help of your significant other/family members. The time commitment varies depending on the position. You can sign up for a position that fits your schedule. I promise, you will enjoy this experience. Please get involved!

SECOND request: SWIM at the Rose State Meet The Rose State Masters Meet is next Saturday FEBRUARY 25 in Midwest City. This is always a fun meet and several Tulsa swimmers are planning to go. Please support the meet director, Janet Latham. It takes time and effort for our volunteer meet directors to provide opportunities for us to test our swimming skills. Let's show our appreciation by attending this meet.
FYI--- For those of you who like to set records: this is the only short course meters meet in Oklahoma. A great chance to get your name in the record books! Here is the link to the meet info:
http://okmsc.org/SwimEvents/RoseState/RSMeet.html
If you want to carpool to the meet, plan to meet at the Jenks Aquatic Center parking lot on Saturday at 9:30 am. Warm up is 11:30 am and the meet begins at 12:30.
THIRD request: SWIM at the USMS South Central Zone Championship Meet, Southlake, Texas (near Dallas) March 30- April 1st.
The South Central Zone consists of USMS swimmers in Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. A Zone Championship meet is held two times per year: the spring meet is short course yards, the summer meet is long course meters.
Mark your calendar and plan your training for this meet. It's been awhile since Oklahoma had any significant participation in the Zone meet. Dallas is an easy drive; we don't have many excuses NOT to attend. Plus, Tulsa Masters will host the 2013 Long Course Zone meet at the new Jenks pool. We need to get the word out about our fabulously fast pool so all those Texans will want to come to our meet.
Here is the link to the meet information:
https://www.damswim.com/files/2012_zone_masters_entry.pdf
LAST, but not LEAST:: APRIL POOLS, April 14th at the Jenks Trojan Aquatic Center, hosted by Tulsa Masters Swim Club.
Please go to www.okswim.org to find the entry form.
I hope all of you will make time to participate in OUR meet. Denise Freisberg is our first time meet director. Let's show our thanks to her for taking on this job by swimming or volunteering in the meet.
Baby update: Masters swimmer Jocelyn Wood and her husband, Keith, are the proud parents of twin girls, born Feb 10th. Masters swimmers Courtney (McGill) and Casey Nichols also had a baby girl about the same time as Jocelyn. Just one more girl and they'll have a relay team! Congrats to all of you!
That is all for tonight. Have a great week. Sign up for the sectional meet; shoot me an email if you want to go to the meet this weekend. I'll be bugging you about it if I see you at the pool. :)
Keep Swimming!

TMSC 2012 New Year Update
Hi Swimmers!
It is the end of January and it feels like March. My sinuses are telling me the same. We are going to regret the prayers for a mild winter!
It's time for a new year update. (yes, Steve Johnson, this will be a very long email!) I know you've missed getting emails from me!! I want to welcome all the new members and also thank those of you who renewed your memberships for 2012. Tulsa Masters does benefit from your USMS membership. A percentage of the total USMS membership fee funnels through Oklahoma Masters Swimming and then to Tulsa Masters Swim Club. These funds will go toward club activities. We anticipate receiving approximately $900 "profit sharing" from the 2011 memberships. It's not all about the money, though. I'm just happy to have a so many people to workout with on a daily basis! You can see the list of all registered Oklahoma swimmers at https://www.ClubAssistant.com/club/usms_members.cfm?l=27.
If for some reason, you haven't renewed for 2012, please do it NOW. www.usms.org/reg. Remember, for those swimming at Jenks, you are REQUIRED to be a USMS member to participate in the designated masters workouts.
For those of you new to the club, please regularly check the TMSC website, http://tulsamsc.blogspot.com and also the Oklahoma Masters Swimming website, www.okswim.org for updates to the calendar, news, etc. We do our best to keep this as up to date as possible. Almost all of the emails I send will be posted to the club website.
FUN STUFF: Congrats to 7 Tulsa Masters members who completed the impromptu One Hour swim at the Jenks pool on Saturday, Jan. 28: Stephen Louy, Jon Dees, George Villarreal, Joe Ballinger, Bruce Dart, Norman Kahler and Denise Smart. Sorry, I don't know how far everyone swam. I do know George did somewhere around 4800. He bragged that he lapped Jon Dees 8 times. Show off! :)
Also congrats to the Tulsa Masters members who competed in the the ORU Indoor Triathlon on Saturday, Jan 28: Mona Canaday (1st 55-59); Amy Fahrlander (1st 35-39); Elissa Bates (4th overall and 1st 20-24); Denise Smart (1st overall female); Colin Drysdale(6th 35-39); Alejandro Torres(1st 40-44); Robert Broaddus(1st 50-54); Matt Bowler(3rd overall,1st 35-39); Alan Ball(2nd overall,2nd 25-29). Brian McKinney did the race with his daughter, Gracie. I think she is 11 yrs old and she was 2nd in the 8-14 age group. This was Gracie's first triathlon. Good job everyone! Please forgive me if I missed anyone in the results.
MEDICAL MOMENTS: I want to acknowledge some of our members who are recovering from surgeries, going through treatment, and anxiously ready to give birth! Please keep our teammates and their families in your thoughts as they go through life's joys and tribulations: Steve Allen, Don Nelson, Betsy Beddow, Jon Billings, Denny Saunders and Jocelyn Wood. I know Jon has already returned to the pool, and Betsy hopes to in the very near future. Jocelyn is holding onto twin girls, but it sounds like she is ready to let them go whenever they decide it's time. Best wishes to all of you!
The rest of this newsletter contains information regarding the 2011 TMSC Financial Report, upcoming meet schedule, volunteer opportunities at the USA Swimming/Speedo Sectional meet, and an update on action items from the annual club meeting. Please contact me if you have any questions! denises@webzone.net
TMSC 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT
The club's financial report is available for your viewing pleasure on the TMSC website: http://tulsamsc.blogspot.com/2012/01/tmsc-2011-financial-report.html
Click on it to make it readable.
Just a note of explanation-
The club account had a loss of $883 in 2011. This entire amount can be attributed to the Tallchief Open Water Challenge event:
1) We incorporated chip timing to add quality and efficiency to our event.
2) Event income was affected by the loss of approximately 20 participants over 2010.
3) Swim Tulsa did not co-sponsor the event, so TMSC picked up the full share of expenses.
I once again need to acknowledge the financial sponsors of the 2011 Tallcheif event: Landreth Law Firm, Leslie Sauber, coach-Janet.com, JW Designs, and Tulsa Area Triathletes. We would not be able to put on this unique event without their assistance.
The 5th Annual Tallchief event is September 9, 2012. The event will be dual sanctioned with USA Triathlon (USAT) and United States Masters Swimming (USMS). We hope this will increase participation. I do intend to use the chip timing system again.
UPCOMING MASTERS EVENTS:
Please continue to check the Oklahoma Masters Swimming website, www.okswim.org, for updates to the calendar. Colin Drysdale, the web master, will update the dates, links to entry forms, etc, as he gets the information. Also watch for emails from our registrar, Loida Delgado, caribena57@hotmail.com, with information about the meets. The email subject line usually reads something like "Oklahoma" or "Oklahoma news". Loida sends out information to all Oklahoma masters swimmers upon request.
