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. If you are certified through USA, PIAA, or the Y, you only need to send your credentials to Dave Olhasso. For all others, please review the training videos here. The quiz for starters can be found here and the quiz for strokes/turns judges can be found here. There will be a final Zoom call – details will be announced later. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Charlene ([email protected]).
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 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.
Did you order suits or personalized cap?
Personalized cap orders and team 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.
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 your continued support! GO LMT!
See you at the pool,
Coach Kathryn
