There is a problem with the pool heater, and it will not be fixed until Wednesday, but not in time to warm the water enough for practice, so practice is cancelled Tuesday, December 29, and Wednesday, December 30.  

We are checking into getting a special rate for school team swimmers at the Hamilton YMCA, for anyone who wants to get in some practice time on their own.  Please reply to this email if you are interested.

PLEASE email your entries MONDAY NIGHT (DECEMBER 28) for the January 9 high school meet at Sewanee.  You can swim three individual events, and the coaches will assign up to two relays.  

The week after the Sewanee meet, on January 14, we have our final home meet, where seniors will be recognized.  Then on Saturday, January 23, high schoolers will go to Knoxville for the KISL Championship meet, and middle schoolers will be at Baylor School for the Middle School Championship!  Book your rooms in Knoxville at the Hampton Inn and Suites.  A link for the group block will be sent out.  You must book and guarantee your own room and the deadline is January 1!!!

Hampton Inn & Suites Knoxville-Downtown  Address: 618 West Main Street Knoxville, Tennessee   37902  

Phone Number:1-865-522-5400​  Ask for the group rate of $129.00 for OHSSC (Ooltewah/East Hamilton High Schools Swim Teams).

If you did not pay your final payment when it was due in December, you must make payment the first week of January.  No one wants to make a kid sit out at practice because they haven't had their fees paid.  If you have any questions about the amount, email Betsy Childress at [email protected].
