2017 SUMMER SWIM SEASON

Hello Swimmers and Parents!

I hope you have all had an awesome school year and are ready to gear up to hit the pool!

I am so excited to come back and continue coaching this summer! We have a semi-new coaching staff and we are excited to work hard and play hard. We want to cultivate team spirit and self-discipline among our swimmers. Performing at your personal best is key so when it comes to that last lap in a race, anything saved is wasted.

Here are a few quick things to be aware of as the swim season approaches. So pull out your calendars! 

**Please be aware that these dates may change due to weather or other technical difficulties - so check back for any updates! 

Registration Opens
May 1, 2017

• All NEW swimmers to Lindon Swim Team must try out.

• Returning swimmers wanting to move up a group will need to pass off the skills required for that particular group.

Here are the basic requirements for each group. Assigning each child to a particular group is at the discretion of the coaches, swimmers will be moved to groups appropriate for their skill level if needed.

25 yard freestyle
25 yard backstroke
Comfortable with face in water

Intermediate
50 yard freestyle
25 yard backstroke
25 yard breaststroke

Able to do a turn

Advanced
100 yard: (50-butterfly and 50 back)
100 yard: (50 freestyle and 50 breast)

**Possible changes to these requirements may be made according to each swimmer

Tryouts 
May 12th 3:30pm-5:30pm. May 13th 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. These are drop ins, so come when you can. We will take swimmers in groups to assess their skills. If you can not make it to this tryout for some reason, please contact us at lindonswimteam@gmail.com.  

Parent Meeting 
*Date has been changed from the 19th to May 18th at 4:30 p.m. in the Community Center
We will be covering what to expect and Poco Loco will be there so you can buy the required team suit, fins, caps, etc.
**Please be aware that parent volunteering throughout the season (at meets, practices, parties) is required. However, if you or a family member can not volunteer, you can pay a fee to wave your volunteer hours. Parents are expected to volunteer for 4.5 hours per child, with a 12 hour cap per family. You are what makes swim meets possible!

Advanced Group: 7:30 a.m. - 8:30 a.m.

Intermediate Group: 8:30 a.m. - 9:30 a.m.

Adult Swim Class
We will be holding adult swim classes again. We haven't set a time or dates yet, but stay tuned if you are interested in staying in shape, learning strokes, and being able to keep up with your swimmers in the pool!

We look forward to working with each of our swimmers to help them reach their swimming potential!

Best,

Coach Kristi
