Hello Lindon
Swim Team Parents of 2015,
We as a coaching staff are so excited to be working with your children
this year! We ask for your patience and help as we get this season started off
with a splash!
There are a few items of business that you each need to be aware of
so please read all the way to the end! There may be something that
benefits you if you do! :) I promise not all my posts will be this long.
We just have a lot to go over. Plus, I'd like us to be on the same page.
Email List
If you are not on the emailing list, please email me your email and
contact information so you can receive updates.
Swim Team Caps
You may purchase the swim caps at the front office. They are the same as last year and cost $5. Please be aware if the cap is ripped you will need to buy another for the meets. So we suggest have a practice cap. You can purchase these at very little cost (usually like $3) at various swim shops.
Swim Team Shirts
Team shirts are included in the fee for registration. We need to know your sizes by tomorrow at 12 pm. Please let us know your child's sizes by tomorrow! We will ask in practice as well.
*Swim Meet Needs - The MOST Important Part
The following is found in the bylaws for the Utah Valley Summer Swim League Rules for Competition. When you signed up your children for swim team, you agreed to follow these bylaws. Each team in the league are subject to the same rules.
“Meet Staffing Requirements: It is required that all meets be staffed as follows:
1. 4-stroke judges (one from each team). Must be approved by the Head Official.
2. A Starter.
3. Referee
4. Clerk of Course
5. Finish judge
6. Bullpen director
7. Two timers per lane.
If a team does not supply an official to the stroke clinic presented at the beginning of the summer, no meets participated in at the teams pool will be counted as a legal meet....Host teams, in a dual meet, will provide the officials and all timers. If a team doesn't have the required amount of officials to the officials meeting held at the beginning of each season, all meets held at that facility will not be counted as an official meet and will not be counted toward entry into the final county swim meets. A list will be provided at the beginning of the season of all teams that have sent representatives."
ATTENTION: We have only had four people sign up to be stroke judges. I cannot stress this enough- we CANNOT hold meets without people attending the Training Meeting on June 10th to become stroke judges, a starter, and a meet referee. We need you as parents to help us run our meets.
**Those who attend the Training Meeting on June 10th will receive $50 back at the end of the season if they attend the meeting and do their job at the home meets. The meeting also counts toward the required volunteer hours. So it’s a great way to fill those hours if you have multiple children on the team. The positions below must be filled.
Here is a list of positions we still need filled.
1 Meet Referee*
2 Starters*
1 Clerk of Course*
1 Event Caller
We have too many timers, ribbon masters, runners, and party committee members so if you have signed up for those positions we need a few from each group to switch. If you are willing to switch and fill the positions needed or if you have not signed up to volunteer, please contact me as soon as possible! Please don’t assume that other people will switch or sign up for these required positions.
Please be aware that we are keeping track of volunteer hours. So if you do not fulfill your volunteer hours (4.5 hours per child) you and your children will not be allowed to attend the end of the season party. This is to ensure that we will have a meaningful, successful, and complete swim season. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or the LAC Manager.
Thank you for your support and involvement!
Sincerely,
Head Coach Kristi Hargiss
LAC Manager Daniel Adair
