WAIT LIST AND MANDATORY PARENT MEETING TOMORROW

Wait List

If you have not registered your child and are on the wait list for swim team, please sit tight as we organize the rosters and swimmers move to the appropriate level or drop out. You should hear from me within the week. Please check your emails for any updates! 

Parent Meeting

We will be holding our parent meeting as planned from 4-5 p.m. at the Lindon Community Center for those who can make it. If you can not make it, we will be holding a make up one on May 31st from 4-5 p.m. as well. Let me know if you can't make either of these meetings.

Poco Loco will be there early so you can order all the equipment you need. They have given us a great team discount! So come at 3:15 p.m. if you want to get ahead of the line! If you can not come to the meeting, you can go into Poco Loco's store located in Provo on University Pkwy. 

Below is posted our swim suit for this year - sadly our suits from last year were discontinued so we decided to go with something FUN since it's the Summer Olympics this year!

First Day of Practice

Our first day of practice will be June 1st. Come ready to work hard and play hard! Please make sure you have paid before this date. So you are aware, part of the registration fee includes the dues that each swimmer must pay to be part of the league and to be able to swim at county meets.

Start Times

Advanced Group: 7:30 a.m. - 8:30 a.m.
Intermediate Group: 8:30 a.m. - 9:30 a.m.
Beginner Group: 9:30 a.m. - 10:15 a.m.

MAKE UP SWIM TRYOUT

This Saturday we will be holding make up tryouts for swim team.
10-2 p.m. - Drop Ins - here at the pool

As I'm sure many of you are aware, our intermediate and beginner groups are full. We will have a wait list for these groups available on Saturday's tryout. Wait list sign ups will be a first come first serve basis.

Please do not register your child for the advanced group if they do not qualify for advanced. If you do, your child will not be guaranteed a spot in the group they do qualify for.

Questions or concerns? Please email me directly.

See you Saturday!

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!

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

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
