The Fallen Timbers Swim Team’s mission is to help children learn and enjoy the sport of swimming. Swimmers must be a member or have a swim team only membership (see Membership page for more info!) of FTFRC, between the ages of 5 – 18. Swimmers should be able to swim one lap of the pool in some way. It does not have to be a perfect stroke.
Each swimmer has the opportunity to participate in swim meets, earn ribbons, participate in fun practices, meet new friends, receive a season-end gift and, most importantly, build a love for swimming!

Swim Meet Checklist
Swimmers:
Parents:
The Fallen Timbers Frogs are a part of the Ohio Michigan Summer Swim League (OMSSL), along with teams from Green Hills, Lincolnshire, Brookwood and Bohn.
OMSSL Summer Swim League Website: http://omssl.weebly.com/
Please attend as many meets as possible. At least two must be attended in order to be eligible for champs. We need as many swimmers as possible for the Bohn and Green Hills meets.
PLEASE NOTE: It is important that parents notify their coach when a child will miss practice for several days. It is especially important to let a coach know if a child will miss a meet. This is critical for the coaches to put together meet lineups. If a swimmer misses a meet without notification, the swimmer will be taken off relays for the following meet. Please, don’t let your team down. We need you!!
Work Hours
Each swim family is responsible to work 10 hours. The required 5 FTFRC work hours will be included in these 10 hours.
Volunteers are in high demand for swim meets. Please attempt to fufill your work hours during these meets. If not possible, additional swim team work hours arise throughout the season.
