We are looking forward to a great season!

We are looking forward to a great season!

The swim and dive team coaches are encouraging all new and returning MTLSC swimmers and divers to join what promises to be a great 2008 season. All members of the MTLSC are eligible to join, provided participants are 18 years or younger and are able to swim one full length of the pool. The coaches will enforce this rule for the safety of the children.

We have many fun team events planned for the swim and dive team from treat and donut days to a pancake breakfast and pizza night. We will have a movie night for ages 10 and under and a late night swim for ages 11 and up. We look forward to having you join us!

Parent Participation

Parent participation is as important to a team as the swimmers themselves. Your help is critical to the success and smooth operation of the meets and season. Many parents work every meet, but each family will be asked to work at least 3 sessions out of the 10 we have (each session is ½ of a meet). You will have a chance to sign up for volunteer positions on Thursday, May 29, 2008, at the team registration and suit fitting, or on May 30 at late registration. Most of the volunteer opportunities require no experience, and training is "on the job." PLEASE REMEMBER: IF YOU DO NOT HELP STAFF TEAM EVENTS, YOUR CHILD WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO SWIM! If you are unable to come on May 29 or May 30, or if you don't have a chance to sign up, volunteer positions will be assigned to you.

Fees and Swimsuits:

In order to offset the cost of running the team, there will be a $40.00 per swimmer/diver charge (max. of $90.00 per family); there is only one fee regardless of whether you are a swimmer, a diver, or both. This fee will be due at the team sign up during the suit fitting on May 29 or at late registration on May 30. You will need a separate payment for the team fees (cash or check payable to Mt. Lookout Swim Club) and for Kastaway swimwear (cash, check, or credit card)if you purchase anything from them. The team will not change suit style this year, but your swimmer(s) may need new sizes or other swim and dive items from Kastaway.
