Hi LLST Families,
Great job to all of our swimmers today at time trials—we’re extremely excited for the season ahead!
A few important reminders as we head into our official meet season:
Snacks & Food Allergies: Please be mindful of food allergies when packing snacks. Make sure items are sealed well to avoid spills and excess trash on the pool deck.
Clean-Up: All swimmers should clean up their area before leaving. Let’s make sure we leave the team space as clean (or cleaner!) than we found it.
Team Area Expectations: Swimmers should remain in the team area during meets. Parents should not be in this space. We had several instances today where parents were asked multiple times to leave—please help us keep this area clear so coaches can focus on the swimmers.
Starting Area Etiquette: Please do not take pictures or videos directly behind the chairs or starting areas - it is against ODSL rules and we can get in trouble. From the side of the pool, totally okay! Additionally, anyone volunteering in the starting area (timers, officials, etc.) should remain off their phones. If you need to take a call or send a text, please step away and ensure your position is properly covered.
Volunteer Check-In: All volunteers must check in at every meet. If you do not check in, you will not receive credit. With over 100 volunteers per meet, this is critical for tracking. At home meets, the check-in table will be located near the sheds.
Thank you all for your cooperation in helping our meets run smoothly and creating a great environment for our swimmers!Go Lightning!Barbara Ward
