Parent Meeting: Friday, May 30th at 6pm at the pool.
Please plan to attend a mandatory General Meeting for parents and swimmers. Any brand new swim team members will also be asked to do a quick tryout (swim a lap or two so the coaches can group them correctly)
Volunteers: In order for the Swim Team to function, we need a lot of hands to help! All families participating on the Swim Team are expected to volunteer. For those families where it is difficult to volunteer on the day of meets, there are plenty of other ways you can help. Full parent participation is expected in order to help make the team a success.
*Lochearn Pool Memberships must be current and paid in full before your children may join the team or swim at practice.*
Swim Team Registration:
Step 1: Register each indiviual swimmer on AAU. Lochearn's AAU # for 2025 is: W4TB3E (this is used to associate your swimmer with the Lochearn Monsters Team). For liability purposes, your swimmer is NOT allowed to swim on the team until fees are paid in full and the online AAU registration is completed (complete this step and then register your swimmer on Swimtopia- you will be asked for your AAU # when you register on Swimtopia)
Step 2: Register your swimmers on Swimtopia: lochearn.swimtopia.com
