Good evening Swimmers and Families!
I hope you had a great weekend – the weather was outstanding and I hope you all were able to enjoy some time outside. This week we will continue a full week of afternoon practices. Please read the following updates for the week:

**Swimmers must come to practice with fins, goggles, cap, and water bottle.
STROKES AND TURNS TRAINING / MEET MANAGER TRAINING:
An important job to help our meets run are our Strokes and Turns Officials. We can’t run a meet without these important jobs being filled and we are looking for officials for our upcoming season. Upcoming certification clinics for LBSL will be completed VIRTUALLY this year. More information to come this week.
If you are interested in being trained in using the computer system during meets or need a quick refresher, there will be a Zoom training held on Thursday, June 16 at 7:00 PM. This training will be virtual. More information to come.
COLD WATER CLASSIC INVITATIONAL SWIM MEET:
The Cold Water Classic Invitational hosted by Warrington Swim Club will take place Thursday, June 23 (evening session for swimmers 10 and under) and Friday, June 24 (evening session for swimmers 18 and under). Registration is now open. Registration will close on Tuesday, June 14 at Midnight. No late entries will be accepted.
PARENT MEETINGS – 6/7, 6/8, 6/9 during practices:
Our parent board will be hosting a brief parent meeting at the beginning of the 4:45 and 5:45 practices on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, June 7-9 this week to answer any questions and to discuss parent jobs for swim meets. How to sign up for parent volunteer jobs via the website will be reviewed.
LMT SPIRIT WEAR:
LMT Spirit Wear store will be opening this week – please check your email for additional information this week for how to purchase your LMT Swim and Dive swag and gear. A huge thank you to Linda McGuigan for helping us with this!
Did you order suits or personalized cap?
Personalized cap orders and cap orders taken during registration are in production. Additional non-personalized LMT caps will be available for purchase in late June. Stay tuned!
Calling all Parent Volunteers:
It takes a village to run our swim program and we are looking for parent volunteers to join our non-executive board. Open positions include meet manager, volunteer coordinator, and much more! Please consider stepping into one of these roles as they are crucial to fill and ensure that our season runs smoothly and efficiently. Any questions or concerns, please reach out to our team President, Megan Dougherty at [email protected] or myself.
Entering the Pool Facility:
Your child (and parent/caregiver) must bring their pool membership card and for their safety of your child(ren), anyone under age 12 must be walked to the coaches at the start of practice and picked up from coaches when practice ends. To reiterate, children under the age of 12 may NOT be dropped off at the pool entrance. Please, bring your pool pass!
Also, please check the website (www.lmtswim.com) on a regular basis. Key areas to look at are: Events (you must be signed in to view events, commit to events, and sign up for jobs), Team News, and Team Calendar. All the dates for the season can already be found on our throughout the Team Calendar!
Thank you for a great first week! GO LMT!
See you at the pool,
Coach Kathryn
