Highlights from the 2006 Season.....

The Oxford Valley Turtles finished the 2006 season with 5 wins and no losses and won the Lower Bucks Swim League Blue Division title!!!!! They won the first meet of the season against Breezy Point.....The Turtles also won the second meet against a tough LMT Crocs team; the third meet was a win against the Bub Mears Sportsmanship Award-winning Phoenix Fireballs.....Phoenix finished with a respectable 4 wins and 1 loss that was a re-building season for them.....Great job, Phoenix!!!!! The fourth win was an unusual meet against Richboro.....Richboro's pool had no electricity because of the massive power outage in the area so the whole event was staged under lights powered by generators!!!! The cross-over meet with the powerhouse Somerton Swim Team was a spectacular one with both teams having great swims.....Unfortunately, it had to be cut short at event 27 due to tornados touching down in the areas around the Oxford Valley Pool.....Fortunately, no one was hurt as we evacuated the deck (give credit to both teams, the coaches and officials for acting FAST).....The fifth and final win was a make-up swim meet against Winchester.....
