Officials interested in assigned positions (chief judge, starter, deck referee) for 13 & Over championships should contact meet referee Julia Murphy by June 1. Cell: (541)430-2428 or Email:  murphyhwdfloors@msn.com Please let her know what position(s) you desire and what date(s) you will be available to work. Thank you!

Officials who would like to work the meet as stroke & turn or ET are encouraged to contact her as well.

Coaches and Officials:

Background screens are taking longer than usual to be processed. To avoid problems, OSI recommends renewing at the beginning of the month in which your background screen expires. Also, the $19 renewal screen for coaches and officials is only valid if you do it before 30 days after your last screen expired. If you wait more than 30 days, you will have to pay the full $39 screening fee.

The expiration date for your background screen is printed on your USA swimming membership card. It's the responsibility of each member to be aware of expiration dates and make sure credentials remain valid.

The long course 'A' time standard for 8 & under girls 50 breaststroke is incorrect. It is listed as 1:10.29; it should be 1:01.29. OSI apologizes for the error.

The OSI Office will be open irregular hours through May 25, 2013, and closed May 7-9. Please check to see that the office will be open before coming in.

Help us recognize graduating seniors.  Send their name, club name, the High School from which they will be graduating, and the college they are going to attend to office@oregonswimming.org.  Graduating seniors are recognized in our history section.
