re: Lightning News Flash

SWIMMERS, GREAT JOB TONIGHT!!! The final score was Fawn Lake 241.5; Lee's Hill 203.5.

Parents I would like to extend a VERY BIG THANK YOU to those that stepped up and took jobs that you hadn't signed up for tonight. We really need parents to volunteer for jobs. We would all like to sit and watch our children swim, but without timers, stroke & turn, clerk of course, scorers, ribbon writers, etc the meet will not happen. Please sign up in advance for jobs, so Libby doesn't have to volunteer people at the meet, this is a real challenge as she doesn't know everyone or what jobs you are able / trained to do.

Practice tomorrow (Thursday) starts at 8:00 for 13+, 9-12y at 8:45 and the 8 and under at 9:30.

Regular practice on Friday and Tuesday.

NO PRACTICE OR CLINICS ON MONDAY, JULY 4TH!!!

Remember - Coach Jay needs either a Missed Meet Form or an email to let her know your child will not be swimming - please email her directly usa_aus@verizon.net. I do not need to know.

Go Lightning!!

Parents remember that regardless of how many meets your child is in, you need to volunteer for six (6) halves.

Swimmers need to be at Fawn Lake by 4:45pm to check in with the coaches and be ready for warm ups.

re: Lightning News Flash

Greetings everyone,

This week I have a number of things to share with you:

1. The swim meet this week is AT Fawn Lake, swimmers should be there by 4:45pm. There is a guard at the entrance, just let them know you are going to the swim meet.

2. We will hold a meeting of the Finals Planning Committee on Monday July 11th @ 6:45pm at the North Pool (during evening clinic). We are looking for parents to help with the logistics and concessions of this big money maker for the team. Please don't assume someone else will help, we need you!

3. If you have a business, or know someone that does, or maybe you just want to recognize the efforts of your swimmers - place an ad in the Finals Heat Sheet! (for new parents this is the program for finals and lists all the events/swimmers) I've attached the form with information. All ads MUST be submitted on an 8x10 page in the exact size you want the ad to be. Please complete the form and place in Michael O'Donohue's folder in the box no later than morning practice on July 8th.

4. Please complete the Photo Release form and put in my (really Bridget's) folder in the box. We want to post the link for all the pictures that have been taken!!

5. If you have questions, concerns, or suggestions for the Board, please put them in my folder in the box; any regarding coaching should be put in Coach Jay's folder.

6. Don't forget to complete the Missed Meet form and put in Coach Jay's box or send her an email - usa_aus@verizon.net, no later than Monday at the evening clinic as the coaches meet after the clinic to plan the meet. If you already know your swimmer won't be at finals, let Coach Jay know.

7. Mark your calendar now, we will be holding a swim-a-thon on July 28th. Look for more details soon.

Go Lightning!

re: Lightning News Flash

A job very well done to the swimmers and parents who participated last night!! We had parents step up to help as needed at the last minute and lots of hands making lighter work for set up and clean up. AND our swimmers were AWESOME!!!
 

***We had one triple winner - Noah White - 25 Back - 21.69; 25 Breast - 25.42; and 25 Fly - 20.62!!! Great job!***

 
Last night was an Exhibition Meet with Austin Ridge, from the Battlefield Division (we're in Patriot), but we held our own. The score was LH -244; AR - 250.
 

The concessions committee would like to thank ALL of last night's volunteers for a job well done!!! We received tons of compliments from Austin Ridge about the variety of food available and the level of presentation. Everyone's willingness to jump in and help where ever needed is greatly appreciated!!

The swim team board is still looking for volunteers for the FINALS COMMITTEE. This committee will have two components: 1. to help organize the concessions booth; and 2. to coordinate the overall meet for FINALS on August 6th at the Spotsylvania YMCA. Please let one of the board members know if you would like to volunteer.

 
If you haven't submitted the photo release form, please do so as soon as possible (I've attached it for your convenience). We have lots of pictures we want to post!!

 

Our next meet is Wednesday, June 29th at Fawn Lake - see the website for directions. Swimmers will need to be there by 5:00pm.

 

Remember if you have a question, the website probably has the answer! Check there first for a quicker answer.

 

Job sign up questions should be directed to Libby @ leehillswims@yahoo.com.

 

Sponsorship or Spirit item questions should be directed to Jennifer @ runkfamily@yahoo.com.

 

Concessions questions should be directed to Chris @ ccbak@verizon.net.

Go Lightning!!

re: Lightning News Flash

Greetings,

Thanks to everyone that helped out on Saturday at the Mock Meet

1. Tuesday morning Coach Jay will begin offering a Master swim at 6:45am on Tuesday and Friday. This is for parents who would like an opportunity to swim. Coach Jay will have a workout if you'd like or you can swim your own workout. She will, also, be available to help with your strokes if you'd like.

2. We need help cutting up ribbons during morning practice. If you have pinking shears, please bring them and help us out.

3. Sandy has started to take pictures of the swimmers. We would like to post a link to these pictures on our website, but we need a release signed by each family. I've attached this release, please complete one per family and place it in my folder in the box at the pool. Once we get these we'll post the link for the pictures. She will be taking pictures throughout the season at practice and at meets. So smile you're on Sandy Camera!

4. Our first meet is Wednesday. It's a home meet against Austin Ridge. Swimmers need to be at the pool at 4:30pm, the meet starts at 6:00pm. Anyone doing set up should get to the pool as close to 4:00pm as possible.

5. Practice start times on Thursday will be delayed - stay tuned for details.


Go Lightning!

re: Lightning News Flash

Greetings everyone,

First, I apologize the last News Flash, I forgot to send out "bcc". I have to click off to the top of the page to get the "bcc" line and I forgot. I do try to minimize sharing everyone's email, please forgive me when I slip and forget.

Second, Mock Meet information:
       1. Sign up for jobs is set up on www.mysignup.com; at the bottom of the page on the left (scroll down) enter leehillswims@yahoo.com as the email of the person who set it up. Click the link for the Mock meet (and any others if you haven't signed up for 6 halves).

       2. Swimmers should be at the pool between 6:45 - 7am, Saturday morning. The meet will start at 7:30am

Third, miss meet forms are available on the web site and in "the Box" at the pool. Please be sure to notify Coach Jay in advance if your child will miss a meet. They plan the meet on Monday evening, so in advance is by the end of the evening clinic the Monday before the meet.

Remember most information is available on the web site, please check there first for timely answers to your questions.

re: Lightning News Flash

Greetings everyone,

Schools out (for almost everyone) and that means morning practice begins tomorrow!!

(June 13 to August 5 ) 7:30 to 10:00 am
8 and under age groups:	9:20 to 9:55 am
9-12 ages group	8:30 to 9:20 am
13 and up age groups:	7:30 to 8:30 am**

Evening Clinics Begin tomorrow too. The coaches will let your child know if they should attend. The clinics will work on specific strokes, starts and turns and are geared to provide more instruction to swimmers to help improve their strokes. These evening clinics are not a substitute for morning practice.

The Mock Meet is this Saturday, June 18th at 7:30am. We'll need parents to volunteer for jobs, this is a great opportunity to practice the job you will do during the season.

We are seeking parents to be part of our Finals Committee to help organize our hosting Finals at the Spotsy YMCA. Please contact me or any Board member if you are willing to help. This will be a big money maker for the team.

If you no longer have a swimmer on the team and would like to be removed from the emails, let me know. Also, if you know someone that has joined the team, but isn't getting these emails have them contact me.

Go Lightning!
