Lakeside SeaHawks Swim Team is proud to host the longest running swim meet in the world…
est in 1928…
The Ohio Valley Championships!
Parents, we need your help!
We need between 3 to 15 additional lane timers in each session (only 2 sessions out of 9 have enough signed up), so when you hear the announcer asking for additional volunteers, please step up, especially at finals. We can’t run the meet without timers on every lane!
