November Newsletter #2

 

Hello LASC Families,

I hope everyone is doing well today. Congratulations to all of the swimmers who competed at the AMAC Fall Invitational in Medicine Hat this past weekend. There was fantastic racing and cheering from everyone all weekend long.

 

 

Schedule

There is no swimming today for Jr. National, Provincial, and Olympic Way groups. 

There is no practice for groups when their group is at a swim meet. There will be no swim on the days that the meet is taking place, as well no practice on the Monday following 2 and 3 day swim meets, to give family and coaches some rest. You can see which meets are designated for each group on our meet schedule here.

LASC Friday Night Races - October 17th: 4:30 - 6:00 PM

This will be our second Friday Night Races of the season and we invite all members of the club, from Academy to Jr. Horns, to come and participate. For those new to the club, our Friday Night Races are a club wide event where we invite all the swimmers in the club to the pool to participate in team racing. It acts as a trial run for our swimmers to get used to racing in a fun and welcome environment. There is no registration required. Please arrive on deck by 4:15 PM. We will need at least 8 parent volunteers for a smooth running event.
