Lee’s Crossing Cyclones Important Information

Welcome to another season with the Lee’s Crossing Cyclones!

If we do not receive payment or forms by April 14th, your spot will be released to someone on the waiting list.

2025 Pricing

Lee’s Crossing Residents - $50 per swimmer

Non-Lee’s Crossing Residents - $100 per swimmer

The registration fee includes a team t-shirt, swim cap, ribbons after meets, the end of the year party & a certificate. Medals will given out for new swimmers to our team as well as special trophies for selected swimmers.

Swimsuits

This year we will be using Swim Outlet for our team suits. These are not required, but many families like to purchase them. Once your spot is confirmed on the team, we will provide the link to purchase a suit.

Expectations for Parents

We are asking for every family to have a parent help at one half of 4 out of our 5 meets. We will have information on our website about what to expect at a meet with rules for the meets, volunteer positions, & procedures for volunteering. We will have volunteer coordinators organizing and keeping track of volunteers.

Swimmers Out for Meets

We understand that many families have plans during the summer and will need to miss meets. That is fine. On our website, you will be able to mark your availability for meets when it opens each week.

Due to the large size of our team in past years, there may be meets that we will not be able to have all swimmers that are available swimming in the meet. This hasn’t happened in years, but we want to let you know about the possibility. The league has set a maximum number of swimmers at 120; if we have 125 swimmers available, we will have to sit out 5 swimmers. This decision will be made by the coaches, and may be based on practice attendancethe week before, as well as behavior during practice and meets. This hasn’t been an issue in the past most of the time, but we mention it just in case.

Whirlpools

This year, we are continuing our Whirlpools program. This program is targeted at children ages 4-5 that know how to swim, but need a little extra assistance or would like to become stronger swimmers. This is a great program for 4 year olds who would like to join the team next year as a Cyclone or 5 year olds who are not as comfortable in the water as others. Whirlpools will meet 3 days per week during morning practices starting May 28 (see below), and will have dedicated coaches to assist in their time in the water. Whirlpool swimmers will not compete in swim meets. Registration for the Whirlpools will be via the pre-registration link that will be circulated as well. The registration fee for Whirlpools is $40 for Lee’s Crossing residents & $90 for non-Lee’s Crossing residents. The registration fee includes t-shirt, swim cap, the end of season party and an end of season certificate.

2025 Clinics

We will offer multiple clinics this year for ages 7 and up. See below for clinic types & dates. Clinics are optional for anyone that is interested in getting some extra help with strokes, turns, or dives, especially for those that are new to swim team or just moved into the 7-8 year old age range. The cost will be $5 per session. We will have a link on our website to sign up for the clinics; payment will be accepted in cash the day of the clinic.
