Top 10 Things to do for FINALS WEEK!!!

10. Come to Stroke and Turn Clinic on Monday, Tuesday, and/or Thursday from 6:45 to 8:00pm, weather permitting!

9. Come to practice EVERY morning this week! 13-up swimmers start at 7am (except Friday), 9-12 swimmers start at 8:30 and 8 and under swimmers start at 9:30.

8. Parents sign up for Finals Jobs! Email Carey Pohanka at capohanka@verizon.net or see her at practice to sign up. If you have a child swimming in Finals, you need to sign up to work!

7. Plan to be at our year-end Awards Picnic on Sunday August 3 from 5 pm-8 pm at the North pool. If your last name starts with A-M, please bring a side dish; N-Z please bring a dessert to share. Bring your own beverages. More details later this week.

6. Check the Lightning Flash Newsletter blog often for updates!

5. Thank all the coaches for all their hard work and time that they have devoted to the team this summer! Even though our win-loss record isn't what we planned, each swimmer has achieved personal improvements, and we thank the coaches for all they have done for us!

4. Sign up at the Awards Picnic for next season RSL training! We have a severe shortage of trained workers for Clerk of Course, Stroke and Turn, Scoring, Referee, and Starter. This shortage threatens our ability to participate in RSL events. We need to know that there will be qualified parents who are willing to help fill these vital roles for next season.

3. Serve on the LHST Council! The Council elections will be held during the picnic on Sunday, and we have open slots to fill for Equipment Manager, Fundraising Chair, Concessions Co-chair, and At-Large member. Call Amy at 736-8291 for more details---and pick up the phone if I call you!

2. EAT! Friday morning we will have a pot-luck breakfast that begins at 8 AM at the North pool. Bring a breakfast goodie and enjoy our last practice day with teammates!

1. SWIM LIGHTNING FAST ON SATURDAY! Check in for 10 and under swimmers is 6:15 AM (sorry:( )and for 11 and older swimmers is 10:45 AM. Directions to Dahlgren pool will be posted later in the week.
