Don't forget evening practice!

Even though this is a crazy time of the year, the team has begun evening practices! Thursday (weather permitting) practice will be for 9-10 yo from 6-6:45 and for 11-12 yo from 6:45-7:45.



Be sure to check out the added Lightning Links on the right side of this page, which include the registration form if you haven't turned one in, "What You Need to Know" with practice dates and times and board member information, and some information for new families.

See you at the pool!

no practice tonight

the pool is closed and practice is cancelled. If you missed practice tonight you may choose another practice this week.

Swim practice is ON tonight!

6&under swimmers will practice from 6:00-6:30 tonight, and 13-14 year old swimmers will practice from 6:30-7:45, as long as the pool remains open! If parents of the younger swimmers are concerned about the pool or air temperature, Coach Jay will leave the decision up to you.

Stacey Ostlund will be at the pool tonight during the first practice session with swim suits, goggles, and spirit items for sale.

If you have not turned in your RSL waiver form for each swimmer, you must do so before the swimmer is allowed to swim with the team. Please see a board member at the pool to turn these in if you have not already done so.

See you at the pool!

2009 RSL Training Dates

RSL has anounced the training dates for the upcoming season:

5/28, 7 pm @ Hampton Oaks
5/30, 11 am @ Regency
6/4, 7 pm @ Spotsylvania YMCA
6/6, 9 am @ Fox Point

It is critical that we have referees, starters, stroke and turn judges, scoring, and clerk of course officials who are trained. Referees must be trained yearly. If you were trained in another position in 2007 or before, you must recertify.

If you signed up to train for a position at our 2008 End of Year Party, you will be contacted. If you signed up for one of the above positions at the Ice Cream Social, please contact either Mark Fischer at fischerma@verizon.net or Amy Talmadge at atalmadge@verizon.net for more information.

Our trained positions are critical to every meet, both home and away. The swim team cannot function without sufficient trained officials. Please go to one or more of the training sessions to ensure that our young swimmers will have the most support we can provide them!
