This year the OMS Association Championship meet will be held at the newly renovated Tualatin Hills Parks and Recreation Center May 17-19, 2019. Oregon Masters will be hosting our annual membership meeting along with our annual recognition and awards social on Saturday night.
The OMS Board of Directors cordially invites all of you to attend this annual event where we recognize our volunteers and swimmers, and share some of the achievements from the past year.
Every year we ask our members for nominees for the five OMS Awards described below. This is your opportunity to give recognition to a worthy individual, organization, business or group that has contributed outstanding service to a team or to OMS.
