Swim Team Starts on Monday & Update to the Schedule
Monday is the first day of swim team practice! Our coaches are so excited to see you all this week!
Please note, one of the teams that we were supposed to swim on June 16, Echo Mill, was not able to get enough swimmers to have a team this year. Therefore, we will be having a home meet now with just our team similar to last year. The change is updated on our calendar: https://leescrossing.swimtopia.com/calendar-and-meets
Practice times are as follows-Monday, May 16 thru Thursday, May 19 & Monday, May 23 thru Wednesday, May 25:
- 5 & 6 yrs-4:30-5:00
- 7 & 8 yrs-5:00-5:30
- 9 & 10 yrs-5:30-6:00
- 11 & Up-6:00-6:30
Please note, Whirlpools does not begin until June 1. Your swimmer should wear their bathing suit, bring a towel, goggles (if they want to wear them) and a swim cap (if they want to wear one). We will give them one before the first meet as well. You can find all reminders about practice on our website: https://leescrossing.swimtopia.com/practices This is a busy time of year for everyone and we understand if your child can't be at practice. Emily Hobel and Sarah Martin (our coordinators) and Heather Harris and Laura Holder (our volunteer coordinators) will be taking turns at practices to be there in case you need assistance. We recommend you go to the website and look around as most frequently asked questions are on there. https://leescrossing.swimtopia.com Please feel free to email us as well with any questions.
The weather is looking good for now. Our policy is that we practice in the rain unless it is raining too hard to see the bottom of the pool. If it thunders or lightning, we have to wait 30 minutes before we can get back in the pool.
We use the Remind app for weather updates. You can text @lccyclones to 81010 or go to https://www.remind.com/
A few other reminders:
- No parents are allowed on the pool deck. Our practice times are back to back, so the coaches are unable to talk to parents during practice times. They need to be focusing on the swimmers. If you have a question, please see one of the coordinators during the practice or email us. We serve as the liaison between parents and coaches. Thanks for understanding that it is for the swimmer's safety.
- Please remind your children waiting to swim not to play in the tennis court unless they have a tennis racket.
- Please check your surroundings when you are leaving practice for all towels, shoes, goggles, etc.
- Please also pick up any trash. We are so grateful to the Lee's Crossing Homeowners Association that strongly supports our swim team. We want to be respectful of the pool and surrounding areas.
