Lee’s Hill Lightning Swim Team
Summer is fast approaching and the swim team is gearing up
for another fabulous season. The focus now is getting sponsorship, so that we
can keep our registration fees down while still providing a quality
program. Now is the time to contact
friends and family that have businesses in the area that may be willing to be a
sponsor. We have a variety of ways you can be a sponsor and any amount is
helpful. Please contact me, if you or someone you know may be interested.
Swimmer registration will begin on April 28, 2013 from 3 – 5
PM with an Ice Cream Social at the South Lee’s Hill Club House. Each registered
swimmer will receive an official Lee’s Hill Lightning swim cap! We will have fun activities including a
magician and yo-yo demonstrations! Volunteer sign-ups for the meets will also
be available that day. The first evening of practice will begin the
day after Memorial Day. Mark your calendar and check the website for up to date
information.
We continue to rely on family of team members to volunteer
at the meets- home and away- so that all the meets run smoothly. Most of the volunteer positions require no
formal training. However, some of the
volunteer positions, such as Clerk of Course, Referee, Starter and Stroke and
Turn, require official training from the Rappahannock Swim League (RSL). There
is a nominal fee for these training sessions and the Lightning will reimburse
you, if necessary. Please strongly
consider getting trained for these vital positions. If we don’t have trained volunteers we can’t
have the meets. Let’s be there for the
kids and get trained!
The team has several methods of sharing information. We have
a website, Facebook group, emails and a blog. The team website will be updated
as information becomes available – so start checking it regularly. If you will
be new to the team this year and would like to start getting emails, contact
me.
Keep in mind, April 28 is when registration begins and May
28th will be the first evening practice of the year, so save the dates! Stay up to date with swim team happenings
online with our Facebook group - “Lee’s Hill Lightning Swim Team” and our
website – www.golightning.org.
