Hello Oxford Mill Swim Team Parents,

I hope that everyone is having an amazing school year so far! I wanted to reach out and remind everyone that registration is now open on our website!!!

To start, let me introduce you to our team's coaching staff. My name is Daniel Barber, and I’m so excited to be Oxford Mill’s Head Coach this year. Ava Barber will be back as an assistant coach this year, along with Camden Yount and Auva Khodakaram. Ava Reams and Zaryah Housni will be our junior coaches this year. Coaches Katie Fink and Maria Villar will not be full-time coaches this summer, but they will be around and will help at meets. I am very excited to be able to work with this year's coaching staff, and I know they will be incredible coaches.

I’m very thrilled about our team and staff this year. We hope that each kid will have fun while also making new friends and learning how to swim. Our volunteer coaches and junior coaches will allow us to provide more one-on-one attention to the swimmers.

The first day of pre-season practice will be Monday, May 5th. Our preseason is from May 6th-May 29th, Monday-Thursday. We will have Monday, May 27th off from practice due to Memorial Day. The practice times are as follows:

6 & Under: 4:30-5 pm

7-8: 4:00-4:30 pm

9-10: 5:00-5:45 pm

11 & Ups 5:45-6:30 pm

Our normal summer schedule will be starting on Monday, June 2nd. The practice times for Monday-Thursday are as follows:

6 & Under: 10:30-11:00 am

7-8: 9:45-10:30 am

9-10: 8:45-9:45 am

11 & Up: 11:00 am-12:00 pm

An important note about practice times this year: Afternoon practice times will continue the first week that school gets out, the last week of May. However, morning practices will happen on May 27th (the mock meet) and May 29th (the first meet). So really the only afternoon practice that week will be on Wednesday the 28th.

Times for Fun Friday, the celebrations we hold the morning after meets, are as follows:

8 & Under: 9-10am

9 & Ups: 10-11am

We have meets every Thursday, so the first meet would be on May 29th and include June 5th, June 12th, June 19th, and most likely one on the Tuesday before ASA, June 24th. Our specific meet schedule has not been released yet, but I will reconfirm dates once it is! Again, we currently do not know when our ASA championship meet will be, but I will let you know as soon as we find out.

We will have a parent informational meeting closer to the start of the season. We are open to swimmers and families from other neighborhoods, so feel free to share this email! I'm super excited for this season and to see everyone again, and I hope you are too! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out!

Go Stingrays!

Coach Daniel
