FACILITIES
We have training facilities in both Louisville, KY and Shelbyville, KY during the fall and winter months. Our Louisville groups swim at the Mary T. Meagher Aquatic Center and our Shelbyville groups swim at the Shelbyville Family Activity Center. Our full time staff works out of a dedicated team office and can be reached throughout the day. Lakeside Swim Team is the only team in town with a dedicated team office. 

ATTENDANCE
We realize younger swimmers have other activities and obligations, and therefore do not have any attendance requirements. The more you come to practice, however, the sooner you will see improvement, and the more you will benefit.  We do monitor attendance throughout the year to make sure swimmers are able to handle the workload of future training groups. The expectations for attendance & performance increase as you progress through the program.

LAKESIDE SWIM CLUB MEMBERSHIP
You do not have to be a member of Lakeside Swim Club to be on the team.  We are sponsored by the Lakeside Swim Club, which owns and operates our summer facility. Technically we are the Lakeside Swim Team, and have our own parent board.  The team operates as a non-profit organization.  

LAKESIDE SEAHAWKS ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE 
The Lakeside Swim Team is incorporated as Louisville SeaHawks, Inc., a non-profit corporation which was set up to be responsible for providing coaches, equipment, and facilities to train a national and international team. Louisville SeaHawks, Inc., is run by an elected Board of Directors. The BOD receives financial support from training fees, hosting swim meets, and corporate fund raising.

• Our full-time staff works out of our team office, located at 1928 Woodbourne Avenue, Louisville, KY 40205. 
• The Lakeside Swim Club provides the use of a 50-meter outdoor pool during the summer months for the Team’s practice sessions and meets. 
• The Mary T. Meagher Aquatic Center, owned by the City of Louisville, rents Lakeside lane space during the fall, winter, and spring months. 
• The Shelbyville Family Activities Center, owned by the City of Shelbyville, rents Lakeside lane space throughout the year.
• The BOD, working in harmony with Lakeside Swim Club, the City of Louisville, and the City of Shelbyville has assured that the team will be provided with the strongest possible support.

START-UP PACKAGE
Each fall, every USA Swimmer across the country must register for the up-coming year.  This athlete membership to USA Swimming is good for one year and is transferable to other teams.  In an effort to eliminate various small fees and to get all the swimmers unified and outfitted with the same gear we have developed a “Start-up Package”. The cost of the Start-Up Package is $135.00 per swimmer and is billed in October. Please contact the office if that extra billing amount is an issue at that time, especially those with multiple swimmers, and we can work with you.
