The mission of the Oxford Mill Swim Team is to provide the opportunity for children of all ages and skill levels to participate in a summer swim program that balances and promotes both a recreational and a competitive environment.

The primary areas of focus include:

• Encouraging personal improvement
• Providing proper swim technique and instruction
• Fostering team spirit and good sportsmanship
• Promoting neighborhood and community fellowship
• Having fun

Practice makes progress, especially where swimming is concerned. For this reason, swimmers are encouraged to attend practice on a regular basis. Swimmers should come to practice regularly and be prepared to do their best. Practices are really only Monday through Wednesday: Thursday is a lighter practice before the meet and Friday is FUN FRIDAY.

Preseason Practices are Monday thru Thursday from May 5th - May 21st.

Regular season practices are Monday - Thursday from May 26th- June 30th.

Note: There is no practice on Graduation Day (May 16th), the Last Day of School (May 22nd) and Memorial Day (May 27th)

Friday Fun Swim - During the regular season our swimmers enjoy doughnuts and receive awards for their efforts that week. Ages 8 and under experience the fun from 9-10 am and ages 9 & up from 10-11 am.

Please have your child arrive early (coaches will too) so that they are ready to dive in at the practice start time. Swimmers are also expected to behave in a positive manner during practice and be respectful of all coaches. Please know that disruptive or rude behavior at practice will not be tolerated and the coaches have the right to remove the swimmer from practice for a few minutes to the entire practice. If that happens, one of the coaches will discuss with the parent.
