Please find attached a list of these roles with further details provided.
Our club is run purely by volunteers and as you can imagine there is a huge amount of work involved in running a thriving club like OOJSC. This is your opportunity to get involved and provide a vital role in supporting our clubs continued success.
Please express your interest in any of these roles to membership@orpingtonojays.com by 30th June 2019.
As a result of the club not having the correct amount of officials to enable us to hold club champs as a licenced event we have moved the 200IM event for both boys and girls to the 1st December. The 400m freestyle for boys & girls will also be moved to 14th July. Please note the entry form has no change only the programme of events. If you have already handed in your entry form and wish to hand in a revised copy please do so before the closing dates listed on the form. Note we are also currently waiting on the licence being approved for the changes made.
All entry forms must be completed fully for all events you wish to enter along with your current achieved times which you can obtain from the ASA rankings from https://www.swimmingresults.org/individualbest/
If you do not have a current ASA time please obtain one from your swimmers coach to enable us to see each swimmer in the correct heat. For each event on the programme the most up to date ASA times will be used as some of the events are after the summer break.
No late entries will be accepted For any queries or questions please see Lorraine at the Walnuts on Monday or Wednesday or via email. competitions@orpingtonojays.com
The acceptances for this open are under the competitions menu or on the homepage. Good luck to all who have secured a swim.

Kent Junior League - Round 1
Friday 14th June 2019
SatudayWith half our team at Crystal Palace the other half Another great effort for our young swimmers travelling to Maidstone for the first round of the Kent Junior League. Last year we achieved promotion to League 1 so are now competing against bigger and stronger teams. Continuing the outstanding efforts to get into League 1 our swimmers swam numerous pbs as those on poolside showed our team spirit cheering and supporting their team mates. The gala ran smoothly and quickly and at the end of it Orpington Ojays came 6th managing to score 2 first places, swam by Sam Ryan, as well several 2nd and 3rd places. Well done to all our swimmers and everyone in attendance for making our club proud once again.
White Horse League - Round 3
Sunday 9th June 2019
WOW what an enthusiastic team that arrived at Crystal Palace for the third round of the White Horse League; looking fantastic in the new club kit. A mix of experienced senior swimmers and excited but nervous younger swimmers arrived to race their hearts out. We stayed a constant 6th place throughout the night, a credit to the determination of the whole team. For so many of the younger girls and boys this was their first time representing the club at WHL and many have never swum before in a 50m pool. Those that have will understand how tough those first races in an Olympic sized pool can be! Quite a few swimmers had to raise their game to another level, swimming their own age group and up to an older age group too. At the end of the night, the team screamed the Ojays cheer, again a new experience for some, and went home having had fun, exhausted and proud of themselves Thanks as always to the parents for their support, our Officials (Paul Leng), Coaches (Sarah Jolley and Sam Gaster) and Team managers (Heidi Langdown and Julie Strover)
