Blue Ash will have to reschedule our championship due to Covid-19.
We will resume in 2021, just like the Olympics!
My Blue Ash Blue Fin Friends
It is with great sadness to announce that the Blue Ash Blue Fins will not resume this year due to our current COVID-19 situation. We have been discussing since March about how to safely keep the season going (even with a no meet structure) and we have been unsuccessful in our attempts. First and always, our priority is swimmer’s safety. To conduct a successful and productive swim practice would be difficult and unproductive due to the Covid-19 restrictions. So, taking the lead from the Summer Olympics we will be postponing our season until the following summer. We will also be hosting once again the NSSL Championships at the Blue Ash Recreation center during the summer of 2021 so look for upcoming details. The Blue Ash Recreation Center’s outdoor pool will resume limited operations on June 30. Take the opportunity to do some lap swimming, safely, and please enjoy your summer.
If you have any further questions, please let me know and I will find you some answers.

Go BLUE FINS!!!
Here is the official letter from the NSSL:
Welcome to the Northern Suburban Swim League.
The NSSL Board has been closely monitoring COVID-19 developments. While swimming pools have been allowed to reopen on May 26, 2020, the Mandatory Restrictions and Guidelines as mandated by the State of Ohio (Ohio Department of Health) and the CDC result in significant pool use limitations.
COVID-19 Social Distancing and Limited Group Gathering Size Restrictions along with required cleaning regimens prevent our ability to host safe and fun Dual Meets and a July Championship. As a result, the NSSL Board unanimously voted during our May 20, 2020 Zoom Meeting to cancel the NSSL 2020 Season.
During the past few weeks, several swim leagues in our area (and across the state) including USA Swimming and YMCA Swimming have announced no Meets will be held in May, June and into July. Its hoped small Meets may be able to resume mid to late August. Other area Summer Swim Leagues including Tri County, PPSL, Country Club and Seven Hills have all made the same decision as the NSSL.
The NSSL will resume in 2021 with Blue Ash hosting our Championship. We have tentatively reserved July 19 & 20, 2021 for our NSSL Championship. We'll post periodic updates to our NSSL website concerning the 2021 Season.
We understand and share in the 2020 Season disappointment. We will do everything we can to make our NSSL 2021 Summer Swim Season our best Season ever!!
Sincerely,NSSL Board
HELLO TO SUMMER!!! It is time to get wet again!
Welcome to Blue Fins Swim Team for the summer of 2021! We are going to have a fun, exciting new year! We are thrilled to offer this RECREATIONAL summer swim team for ages 5 years and up!
We compete in the Northern Suburban Swim League with other community recreation centers such as Wyoming, Greenhills, Springdale, Sharonville, Evendale, Norwood, and St. Bernard. We focus on skill development, having fun, teamwork, and community. Our goal is to provide a FUN environment to teach, develop good technique and motive swimmers to do their personal best. The team focus will be to encourage one another through good sportsmanship and team spirit. Go Blue Fins!
STILL THE BIG NEWS!!!!
WE STILL GOING TO HOST CHAMPIONSHIPS AT OUR BLUE ASH RECREATION CENTER FOR THE SUMMER OF 2021!!!!.
SWIM FEES:
AGES 5-12 $100 for the first swimmer, $90 for the second swimmer, $80 for the third swimmer (this has not changed)
THIS SUMMER - New PRICING STRUCTURE FOR OLDER SWIMMERS
WHY? Most of our older swimmers don't need the coaching that our younger swimmers need and they tend to have more activities throughout the summer. We don't want our older swimmers have to choose between swimming and may getting a job or taking a summer class.
AGES 13-14 $80 per swimmer
AGES 15-19 $50 per swimmer
Equipment Needed For Practice
SWIM SUIT, SWIM CAP, GOGGLES and TOWELS. Be ready to swim at start time of practice. Parents are asked if they are staying for practice to stay by the lobby/gate. Please refrain from speaking to the coaches during practice, it takes away from the valuable time they will be coaching your swimmer.
Yes, practice will continue during rain. However, practice will not continue during thunder, lightening, or heavy rains with strong winds.

Blue Ash Blue Fins got 1st Place at Championships in small team division!!!!!
Thank you for all who came to awards night. And the one who weren't able to make it, we missed you.
Coach Breann, Coach Kellly and myself are very proud of each and every swimmers not only…
If you are new to the team then you will have to pay for your registration at the Recreation Center front desk. They will get your email and then you will be sent an invitation to login to the website. The simply hit the REGISTER NOW button and you can enter your swimmers, etc. If you are a returning family your name is already in the system. Just simply hit the REGISTER NOW button to enter your swimmer for this year's season. Thank you.
Please, it is VERY IMPORTANT to sign up your swimmers for their each of their meets. Simply click on the GREEN BUTTON below. At the beginning of each meet it is easier to pull a swimmer "out of a meet" than it is to put a swimmer "into the meet." If you are a "maybe" then go ahead and sign your swimmer into the meet. Just put into the "coaches note section" that your swimmer might not be at the meet.
