Week One Coach's Email
The first week of the season is approaching and we are so excited!
Tryouts and First Practice
Tuesday, 5/27 at 5:45pm will be a tryout day required for all new swimmers. Swimmers must be able to swim one lap without assistance from the bottom or a coach. Evening practices will begin Wednesday 5/28. This season there will be 3 evening practice groups as follows.
5:45 - 6:15pm: 10 & under swimmers with only a legal freestyle and/or backstroke.
6:15 - 7:00pm: 10 & under swimmers with a legal breaststroke and/or butterfly.
7:00 - 7:45pm: All 11 & over swimmers.
Returning parents, if you are unsure which practice to attend, please make your best judgement based on the above requirements or reach out to me.
Non-Residents
If you are not a resident of Lake Manassas, you must enter the neighborhood through the visitor's gate on Baltusrol Blvd and let the guard know you are here for swim team. On your first day of practice Amanda will give you a guest pass to use for the rest of the season.
Suit Try-On (via Kristen Delasobera)
Join us for our swimsuit try-on on Tuesday, May 27, from 6-7pm! And don't worry if you can't make it-conveniently order your gear from the team store LMST TEAM STORE (Apparel Ordering with Sport Fair). It's going to be a splash-tastic event evening you won't want to miss! Swimsuits are the same as last year and are optional; however, we recommend wearing a blue swimsuit of your choice.
More Info
I have posted the slides from our informational meeting on the website under the parent's night tab. This is a summary of all important info for the season so I would highly recommend looking this over! You can also find any other team information on our website- Home - Lake Manassas Blue Dolphins.
Communication
I will typically send out two emails a week. Additionally, board members will send out emails with other specific updates. Please read all emails thoroughly to prevent missing any information (I promise I only include important info)! If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to me through email or ask me at practices.
Roll Dolphins,
Coach Addison
