LSA Team Dinner, Awards, & Slideshow |
Please note there are two TEAM registration forms: one for association owners (bonded), and one for everyone else (limited number of spaces on a first-come, first-serve basis, must be a resident of Lawrence Township ). Medical form also required.
See separate swim lesson registration below.
Join the Swim and/or Dive Team!
We encourage all LSA
youth, 18 years or younger, to join the Swim and Dive Team. All swimmers must be able to swim the length of the pool unaided (or be willing to try). Divers must be willing to jump off the board forward and backward. We are looking forward to having a great time while putting in
a strong team performance this coming season. Although Swim & Dive Team means
competition, it has always been, and remains our goal, to provide a fun,
positive experience for a child of any age and any ability level. We are
especially looking to grow our swim team with participation from children 10 &
under and our dive team with teenagers.
Signup & First Meeting
If your child is
interested in participating on the Swim and/or Dive Team, please complete and
submit the attached registration form along with the registration fee as soon as possible, but anytime before Memorial Day is acceptable. The Swim
and Dive Team parent’s meeting will be held on Sunday, May 23 at 1:00 PM.
Team suits can be purchased before the meeting from 11:30 AM-1:00 PM. Fittings
take time, so do arrive early!
Parent Participation
As always, our team cannot
function without the help of the parents. Each team family is expected to
provide a parent to help at our competitions. Each swimming family must work 3
meets; each diving family must work 2 meets. If your child swims and dives, you must meet both commitments. This commitment will fulfill your
annual “pool participation” with the club while giving you a chance
to cheer your children on. Other club participation will not fulfill this
requirement. In order to run these meets, we need all of you to pitch in.
Practices & Meets
Practices will begin the
Tuesday after Memorial Day, and will be held in the afternoons until school is
out. The team will most likely compete in 5 swim meets and 5 diving meets plus championships. All
swimmers are asked to please keep Tuesday and Thursday evenings open, and all
divers Monday and Wednesday evenings, from the last week of June through July in order to
participate in the meets. A final practice and meet schedule will be
distributed by Memorial Day Weekend.
We strongly encourage 10 & under team members to participate in the Mini Meet on July 10, and ALL team members to participate in the Diving Championships on July 21, and the PASDA Swimming Championships on July 26th & 27th.
Stroke & Turn Clinic
A
Stroke and Turn Clinic coached by our own Mrs. Lynn Shields is again being
offered at LSA. Lynn has been coaching for over 22 years and
is known in the community as one of the Lawrence Lightning swim coaches. This
will be the eleventh season Lynn has coached Stroke and Turn. Swimmers interested
in the clinic should be knowledgeable of the mechanics of all four strokes, though
may be only proficient in three. This is not a ‘learn-to-swim’ lesson,
but a stroke refinement/improvement clinic to help swimmers become the best
they can be. The clinic will be offered to a maximum of 20 swimmers. The cost
for the clinic will be $250 per swimmer. Participating swimmers are encouraged
to commit to the entire season, Mon thru Sat, June 1 to July 25. Half-session
enrollment is an option for either the first 4 weeks (thru 6/26) or the final 4 weeks (starting 6/28) at
$125 per swimmer. Sign-up is first come, first serve, with a deadline of May
31. Preference will be given to full session participants. Association owners can register
their child for Stroke and Turn on the Stroke & Turn portion of the Swim
& Dive Team registration form.

Group & Private Swim
Lessons
Swim lessons are availabe to the children of Association Owners and those
who have applied for ownership only. Summer swim lessons are intended for
those children who still need to learn how to swim or improve their basic
skills. Lessons are appropriate for young children to prepare for swim team or
to learn how to be more comfortable in the water.
Group Lessons: Children will be taught by one instructor daily, Monday through Friday, for two weeks. Swimmers will be grouped by ability and class size, and classes will not exceed 5 students. Classes last ½ hour. You can choose to enroll your child in Session 1 (June 14-June 25) or session 2 (July 5-16). Each session is 10 days. Choose a morning start time of either 10:30 AM or 11:00 AM depending on your child's ability. Lessons are booked on a first come, first serve basis. Please return the lesson registration form to LSA with a check made payable to LSA. Alternatively, you can hand the form and check in to the Aquatics Instructor anytime before June 14th.
Private Lessons: Private swim lessons can be independently arranged with any staff member to take place any time they're not working. The expected rate is $15 per half hour lesson payable directly to the instructor. Some staff may charge more or less, based on experience
