The 2012 Short Course Oregon/Region XII Senior Championships are now open to swimmers registered with a club in the Northwest Section (Region XII).
The meet is at the Mt Hood Community College Pool in Gresham, a week before Senior Sectionals, March 1 – 4, 2012. 
Senior Sectional times are getting faster, so this meet will serve as a focus for swimmers that are not attending sectionals or for teams wishing to participate in a season ending championship style short course meet.
Meet Announcement and event file will be available on the Oregon Swimming Website next week.

The Barracudas are hosting the Masters Pentathlon meet on March 10 at the T-Hills Pool, and are in need of stroke and turn officials.  Warm ups are at 8AM, the meet starts at 9AM.
Please contact Julie Andrade at andradejuliea@yahoo.com if you have any questions or can work at the meet.

Joe Dahl will be holding a S&T Clinic March 17th 9:30 am at the Sherwood YMCA. To sign up or for more information contact him at joe@tcsor.com

Oregon swimmers and parents,

I would like to congratulate all of the Oregon swimmers that participated in the 2012 Pacific Coast All Star Meet this last weekend in Langley BC, Canada. The team had a ton of success with the majority of them swimming to best times in all, or most of their events! The entire team had a blast, swimmers and coaches both, in this quick 2 day meet. I hope that they have had time to share some fun stories with their families! As soon as I receive meet results, I will be emailing them to each swimmers club coach.Each swimmer received a bag with 2 t-shirts, a towel, 2 caps, and patch. Since all of the bags looked alike, there was some mix up during parent pick up last night. If your bag has a swimmers name on it that isn’t yours, please contact me ASAP so we can get the ‘swag’ to the proper owner!

Thank you all so much for supporting and participating in this fabulous experience! I look forward to seeing some of you apply to the 2012 Oregon Zone team this summer!See you on the pool deck,
Nina Munch
