Make Up Parent Meeting

We will be holding a make up parent meeting on May 31st - 4-5pm, Lindon Aquatics Center. This way all those who can not make it to the first parent meeting can come to the second. Please make your best effort to come to one of these two parent meetings. If you can not come to either one, please email me so we can get you the info you need. I really want everyone to be on the same page!

Thank you much!

Coach Kristi

DATES UPDATED

There have been a few updates when it comes to important dates. Please see below. If you cannot make either of the tryout times, please email me at lindonswimteam@gmail.com.

May 14th - 10am-2pm: Tryouts at the Lindon Aquatics Center

May 21st - 10am-2pm: Make up tryouts at Lindon Aquatics Center

May 28th - 4-5pm: Mandatory Parent Meeting at the Lindon Community Center

TRYOUTS

Hope you all are getting excited for tryouts coming up! 

Tryouts will be held May 14th - 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, we will be holding a make up tryout. Date is to be determined. 

By way of information, if you are unsure of what group to register your child for you have a few options. One, you can wait until after tryouts to register them. We will assess your child's skills at tryouts and assign them to a group accordingly. Two, you can register them now based on their skills (see the requirements below), and if needs be, after the tryouts we can adjust what group they will be assigned to.  

For those returning swimmers wanting to move up a group, you will need to come and tryout as well to pass off your skills. 

If you know what group your child will be in, go ahead and register. 

Here are the basic requirements for each group. Assigning each child to a particular group is at the discretion of the coaches.

Beginning

25 yard freestyle 

25 yard backstroke 

Comfortable with face in water

Intermediate

50 yard freestyle

25 yard backstroke

25 yard breaststroke

25 yard butterfly

Able to do a turn

Advanced

100 yard: (50-butterfly and 50 back)

100 yard: (50 freestyle and 50 breast)
Able to do flip-turn and open-turn

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

Best,

Coach Kristi

2016 Summer Swim Season

Calling all swimmers!

Time to break out the swim suits and get your cap and goggles ready because we are getting ready for our Summer 2016 Season! Can you believe it's already almost summertime?

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.

I included important dates below. Mark your calendars. Please be aware that these dates may change due to weather or other technical difficulties - so check back for any updates! 

We look forward to working with each of you and help you reach your swimming potential!

Best,

Coach Kristi

Summer of 2015 Wrap Up

2015 Season and 2016 Season
We had such a great season this summer! We saw our swimmers make some great improvements and really push themselves. We as a coaching staff are so proud of everyone. We hope that all our swimmers will come back next summer and bring their friends! We are very open to any suggestions or solutions to make the summer of 2016 even better! Please let us know if you have any ideas. Also, please stay tuned for more information about the season of 2016, when we will be holding tryouts, and the mandatory parents' meeting. We will probably have those dates early in the spring of 2016. 

Slide Show
Below is a link to the slide show I created for our end of the year party. If you didn't get a chance to see it, check it out! It's pretty good, if I do say so myself :)

Lost and Found
We have collected quite a few items over the course of our season. We have fins, goggles, caps, and even swim suits. If you're child has lost anything please come check our lost and found. There is a box in the party room with swim team specific items. However, if not found there, other items may be found in the general lost and found. 

Coaches's Awards, County Awards, and Other Swim Meet Ribbons
We have quite a few awards that still need to be picked up. I went through and organized everything so below (scroll down to the end) is a list of names of those who have something to pick up. Some of these may be doubles. In order to pick up what is in your file, please come to the pool whenever you are available and ask any of the employees about picking up your swim team awards. There are two file boxes that should be in the front office. These are organized by last name, however, some files share last names, so please check your awards to see if they belong to someone else before you take them. Everyone did such an awesome job this year! NICE WORK! 

Remember, JUST KEEP SWIMMING  >))*>

Party Count for Pizza

Hello Swim Team! 

We need to have a rough count of how many people will be coming to the party tomorrow so we can order pizza. Could you please email me as soon as you read this with how many people will be coming from your family to our fiesta? This would be greatly appreciated! 

Thanks!

End of the Season Party

End of the Season Party

We are so proud of all of our swimmers and the hard work they've put in this summer! Be sure to come to our end of the season party as the reward you deserve! It's going to be a blast!

We will be holding the end of the year party August 5th from 7- 9 pm or dusk. We will be playing games, eating food, watching an end of the year slide show, and giving out awards. If you have any good pictures of your swimmers and would like them in the slide show please send them to me by tomorrow at 4pm.

Remember, only immediate family is invited to the end of the year party. So no cousins, friends, etc...Only siblings and parents. 

If you have not completed your volunteer hours or are unsure of how many you've done, please contact me, I have a list. These volunteer hours, as stated in the parent packet, (4.5 hours per swimmer - with 12 hour cap) are required for you and your swimmer(s) to be able to attend the end of the year party. We still want you all to attend so if you are not close to meeting the hour requirement, you can bring food, help at the party with games, and donate to the swim team fund.  Donations are going toward raising money to purchase the Meet Manager software to help run meets so we don't have to use the "old school" method with swim cards. Most of the other teams are using Meet Manager so the meets are seeded ahead of time. 

Attached are the results from Saturday's meet. We are super proud of each of you! You all swam great! The head coach for PG came up to me and told me our swimmers look really good this year :) Nice work!
