Dear Cyclone Families,
The countdown is on to our first swim team practice next Monday, May 13. We are excited to get this season started and hope you all are too!
Practice times are as follows-Monday, May 13 thru Thursday, May 16 & Monday, May 20 thru Wednesday, May 22:
- 5 & 6 yrs-4:30-5:00

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.
