Muirfins Swim Team

6/15 - 6/19

Supplemental Lessons

Meet Entries will close today (Friday)!- any swimmers not indicating that they are attending will not be able to swim in the meet this week. Please take a second to double check your entry status. We will not have the ability to add anyone after entries have been sent to Marysville.

Now is also a good time to declare attending or not for the remainder of the meets.

We have a lot to celebrate this week. We had two very successful meets. Kids swam fast and volunteers showed up ready to work! Plain City was very impressed with how efficiently our meet ran. We could not get everything to fall into place without our amazing coaches being in 5 places at once, parents watching the meet to get kids where they need to be, volunteers pitching in in all areas and swimmers who are ready to swim and who continue to cheer on their teammates! Thank you all very much.

The results are posted for the Plain City meet under the meet name on the team schedule. This is also where you are able to find heat sheets as well when they become available for next week.

Supplemental lessons will be available all week. Lessons are limited to 6 swimmers per session.

Notes from the coaches:

• 8 and Under swimmers practice together on Fridays for Fun Fridays 11:00-11:45am.
• Water bottles should be brought to practice every day, swimmers still sweat!
• Swimmers should wear Muirfins caps to all meets. This is really helpful when identifying our swimmers.

**We are also excited to have team guards this season. Seth, Hadley and Ian will be helping out with guarding responsibilities and we are welcoming back former 8 and under coach Reid! All of our coaches and guards are Red Cross certified lifeguards.

Notes from the Coaches

• If you have questions about practice or meet events, please email your child’s age group coach. Our coaches all have busy schedules with sports, other jobs and activities, so please allow them 24 hours to respond during the week.
  • 13 and Up - Coach Ryan [email protected]
  • 11 and up - Coach Olivia [email protected]
  • 9/10 - Coach Madison [email protected]
  • 8 and Under - Coach Drew [email protected] and Coach Annika [email protected]
• All swimmers should come to practice with a water bottle every day. It is easy to forget to hydrate when in the water, but it is just as important.

• Parents are welcome to stay for practices, however it is important that you are not participating in the practices. Please allow the coaches to coach, it becomes confusing for swimmers and distracting for the coaches when parents are instructing from the sides.
• Please check your family folder this week for an order form from Michael’s Meats. All orders will be due by Monday, June 8th.

The 2026 Muirfins season is officially underway this evening.

Our first three practices will not be our typical practice format, but we are happy to be able to get in this week while school is still in session. The Muirfield Association has allowed us the use of 4 lanes to conduct practice, so the coaches may determine that some out of water activities/dryland practice is appropriate.

The coaches are excited to welcome back our swimmers and meet new Muirfins. The coaches will be working together and helping out with different groups as many are still in spring sports seasons.

8 and Under Swimmers

Practice will be 5:00-5:45 pm.

All 8 and unders will be together until the coaches are able to assess swimmers and determine their practice groups.

9/10 Swimmers

Practice 6:00-7:00 pm

Coach Madison is out of town this evening, so look for Coach Drew when you arrive to check in.

11 and Up Swimmers

Practice 7:00-8:00 pm

**The pool will remain open throughout our practice, so it is important that all swimmers stay with their practice group throughout the duration of the practice time. If your swimmer needs to leave early, make sure they let a coach know.

If you missed Muirfins 101, please take a minute to look over our presentation.
