NOTHERS MEET

We had a great and successful meet at Nothers 2010, THANK YOU to all the volunteers, coaches, and parents that have made this event possible. Senior officials, minor officials, set up crew, kitchen crew, and treasurer – you all did an awesome job.

Special thanks to Denise McDonald, our meet referee and Rose Bloch-Hansen, our office guru. We could not have done it without your help.

Thanks again and I look forward to working with you all soon.

One meet down, plenty left to come.

CHRISTMAS TRAINING SCHEDULE
Now available on the LAC website under the schedule tab. This schedule runs from Dec 20 until Dec 31. Regular schedule resumes Jan 3.
 
STROKES AND TURNS 
For those of you inspired to take the strokes and turns course after this weekend, please contact Stacey at [email protected] for how to take the course on-line or so she can gauge the interest in having a strokes and turns clinic. If we could get some interest in the next couple of weeks, we could use the December time trial as a place for parents to get some valuable experience in a low pressure situation.
 
 
  Remember that the real winner in getting your strokes and turns is your swimmer(s)!
 
EQUIPMENT
All of the personalized equipment is in and there are still several pieces that have yet to be picked up. If you could please contact Jacqui at [email protected] as soon as possible to arrange pick up it would be greatly appreciated.
