A big thank you to Coach Nate Parsley from Salisbury University and Salisbury University Men’s & Women’s Swimming for spending time with our Hammerheads and families to share insight into the college swimming and recruiting process.

It was a great opportunity for our older OPST swimmers to learn more about what the next level can look like. Thank you Coach Nate!!

Mindset Monday: As we enjoy one final day of "summer", it's also time to reset for the new season. Small changes outside of the pool can lead to big changes inside the pool.

🏆 At our End-of-Season Pool Party, we took a moment to recognize more than just fast swims and time drops. While championship cuts and PBs matter, so do hard work, dedication, team spirit, and the heart that makes OPST so special. 💚

👏 Congratulations to this year’s DSA awards recipients:

🌟 Ava Gibbs– Sandy Hexter Memorial Award
For years of encouragement, selflessness, and unwavering commitment to OPST.

💪 Vincent Schicchi & Macie Groves – Hammerhead Award
For incredible work ethics, positive attitudes, and being outstanding role models.

🐟 Rookie of the Season Male: Evan Werner
🐟 Rookie of the Season Female: Camryn Ward
Both of these young people showed amazing growth, coachability, and determination!

💫 Ginny Reister Award - named after OPTS’s founder (Volunteer of the Year) – Mary Sperry has been helping behind-the-scenes through 15 consecutive years and 4 children!! Taking on many different volunteer positions including 10 years helming the annual team breakfast.

Several of our Hammerheads also picked up NEW actual 2026 LC Championship meet cuts after swimming the events as bonuses. Some by quite a margin! Way to go Hammerheads!! 2027 qualifying times have not yet been released but they are usually the same or close to the previous times.

Finally catching up on records!

35 records were broken at MD LC Champs including Bryn making a complete clean sweep of the 13/14 Girls Freestyle records and the listed swimmers setting the Open Relay records as this was the first time we have ever had relays at LC Champs in the Open Age category! Congratulations Hammerheads!

Next up, we will finally get to the DSA Champs records where around another 30 were broken! Our swimmers keep raising the bar and we want to celebrate every one of them. At this rate, we're struggling to keep up, but that's a "problem" we are more than happy to have! 😉 Keep pushing those limits Hammerheads!
