USA Swimming Parents Handbook.pdfTAFT SWIM TEAM
TAFT SWIM TEAM
The Taft Swim Team is a sperate entity, outside the Lincoln City Swim Club, that is governed by Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA) and the Lincoln County School District.
The Taft High School Swim Team operates from late November through March, during Taft High School's winter sports season. The Taft Swim Team is funded through the Taft High School and the Taft Tiger Boosters Club. Taft Swim Team registration typically opens up in October. Along with registration, the Lincoln County School District requires all thier athletes to have an updated physical (good for 2 years) and take a concussion baseline evaluation called the ImPACT Test.
Taft's ImPACT Code is U7K8QT6M22.
To register your swimmer for the high school swim team or for more information regarding Taft High School Sports please visit the Taft 7-12 Athletics Page. For home schooled swimmers there is extra paperwork, please ask for the Taft High School Athletic Director at 541-996-2115.
Each year all Taft Athletes must take an ImPACT Test prior to registration. If your athlete has already taken the ImPACT test once for this current school year they will not need to do another one. It is a 20- to 30-minute computer-based test that helps measure multiple aspects of cognitive function. The results are then used as a baseline of cognitive function in the case of a concussion. Below is the link to the Impact Test. Test results need to be emailed to the Taft Athletic Secretary at kori.bayer@lincoln.k12.or.us
