Message About Season:
Welcome to the opening season of OA Swim and Dive for 2021-2022. Here are the specifics and what to know:
Practice starts the Monday after Thanksgiving (November 29) and runs through the end of February, Monday through Friday. Swim practices are held at Massasoit Community College in Brockton. However divers will dive practice at Wheaton College.
Bus leaves promptly from OAHS at 3pm and arrives back at OAHS by 6pm. (PLEASE NOTE THIS IS TENTATIVE, PRACTICE/BUS TIMES MAY CHANGE DUE TO BUS SHORTAGES. WE WILL UPDATE THE TEAM AS SOON AS IT IS CONFIRMED) Parents must be at school at arrival time. It’s cold, they are tired, and sitting outside with wet heads asks for an illness. Covid protocol dictates that masks must be worn on the bus.
There is only one excused absence permitted where both coaches are notified prior to practice. If you are sick, do not come to practice but you must notify coaches beforehand. If school is canceled, swim practice/swim meet is also canceled (this includes if Massasoit closes its facility).
The meet schedule will be up and posted soon.
Here is what to bring to school every day, be prepared!
