Swim Team Starts Tomorrow
May 14th
Happy Mother's Day to all of our Swim Team Mamas! Just a final reminder that swim team begins tomorrow afternoon. We understand that this is a busy time of the year, so if you can't be there it is fine. Just come as you can over the next couple of weeks as school is finishing up. Both Sarah and Emily will be there tomorrow if you have any questions, we can help!Please also be mindful as you are traveling to and from the pool that there will be many kids walking and riding bikes to swim team practice. We will be keeping an eye on the weather. It seems okay for tomorrow as of right now.
We are attaching the email we sent last week below with lots more reminders as well.
Go Cyclones!
Good Afternoon,
Next Monday, May 15 is the first day of swim team practice! Our coaches are so excited to see you all next week! Please note, our optional County Meet called Patti Wilder has been moved to June 17-18. The change is updated on our calendar:

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 a swim cap 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 Sarah Delaney and Cindy Tam (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.
As far as the weather goes, 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 there is 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/join/lccyclones to join.
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.
- Everyone will be given a swim cap and a t-shirt once they come in.
