Interested in joining the Cornell Swim Team?
The swim team is a cooperative program between Cornell and OLSH.
Pre-season conditioning work-outs will begin on
Monday, September 20, 2021. These optional work-outs will include cardio, dry-land and a heavy concentration of technique. They will take place Monday through Thursday from 3:00 – 4:30 pm. Coach Robertson highly recommends attending as many preseason Open Swim sessions as you can. All are welcome to participate.
Interested swimmers must turn in a completed sports physical packet prior to the start of the official season in order to attend any team activity. Coach Robertson asks that these be turned in no later than
Friday, October 15, 2021 to allow adequate time for ordering team suits and finalizing a roster.
Practice Details:
The first official day of practice will be
Friday, November 19, 2021.
Swimmers are required to attend practice every day once the regular season begins (unless worked out with Coach Robertson). Dry-land work-outs will be completed prior to 3:00 pm. During the regular season, in-water practice will be held from 3:00 – 5:00 pm through December 10th. After that date, practice will last until 5:30. The team will swim over the holiday breaks. The holiday work-outs will be in the morning, at a time to be determined.
Competitions:
Competitions will begin November 30th and continue through February 17th. A bus will be available to transport OLSH students to Cornell. The MAC Championships will be held on Saturday, February 5th. For those who qualify, the season will extend through the WPIAL and PIAA Championships. Those meets will be held in March.
Championship Meets:
Entries must be submitted weeks before the meet itself. Those entries cannot be adjusted once submitted, so it is imperative that Coach Robertson is given at least 3 weeks' notice if you will not be able to attend.
