Our 2010 - 2011 season is set to begin! We hit the water starting on Monday, September 20th at 6 AM ! We are looking to become more involved in meets and start making our mark in Ohio Masters swimming as our age-group program has done on the local and national scene! Our practice schedule will start out with mornings only. Our scheduled practice times are listed on the bottom of the "practice schedule" page on the left. We will get the noon practice started again a little later in the season.
This is our 3rd year in existence and we have built a base for some great swimming this winter! If you are new to the program, we consist of swimmers of all ages and abilities! Don't be afraid to come out and give us a try. We will offer a free one week tryout for you to come in and get your feet wet in our program. We are here for competitive swimmers, swimmers that are in it for fitness, and those of you that are training for tri's or open water swims in the future.
If you have any questions, please contact head coach Bruce Patmos on this website on the "contact us" page on the left. Or you may call our office at 937-323-3781-x-115.
7 - 19 - 10 - End of Summer Season Update:
Practice will go on as scheduled at the Y until July 30th. Then we will go on a break until the middel or end of September. Just watch for updates for our start-up date in the fall.
For the week of July 19th, Coach Bruce will be at USS Sectionals at Purdue Univ. after Tuesday, so workouts will be left on the desk in the SPY Room.
This fall we are looking to become more competitive as a group, getting into more meets, taking a larger group to meets, and possibly hosting our first ever invitational for Masters! So lots of things on the schedule for the fall and next winter so get on board and bring your fiends!

When you do your registrations make sure you list "SPY" as your team. If you registered as unattached at the first meet, please change to being attached to SPY. There are a couple more meets on the schedule in the future, I will get info out to everyone.

We have had a great start to our 2009-2010 season! Let's keep that going in the new year! With our expanded hours at noon, we should be able to grow a bit and become a new force in the Ohio Masters swimming scene in the future!
