Practice Schedule/ Requirements
Practices will begin the week of November 29, 2011
Practices will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30p to 7:30p and Saturday practices will start in January 9:30a to 11:00a
Teamwork requires both personal achievement and a collective group effort on a regular basis. At the LHCC Swim Team we believe that each swimmer's development and achievement is enhanced through teamwork. Our practice week begins on Saturdays, with practices Saturday mornings, and Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Swimmers must attend at least 2 practices a week to compete in the weekly swim meet on Fridays.
LHCC MONSTER SWIM TEAM
(For ages 6—15 years)
This fun, coed recreational program is designed to introduce competitive swimming to youth in a fun and team oriented manner. No prior experience is necessary, but youth must be able to successfully complete the “DEEP END” Test using proper front crawl stroke and rotary breathing.
Our LHCC Monsters swim in the citywide BCYF swim league, with swim meets held both home and away at other community centers around the city.
For more information, please contact the LHCC Aquatic Staff at 617-635-5150.
SWIM TEAM PHILOSOPHY- Safety, Fun and Sportsmanship
The LHCC Swim Team focuses on introducing the challenge of competitive swimming in a fun and exciting manner. Sportmanship and skil development are encouraged in a supportive environment. Swimming technique will be devloped through games, drills and workouts. We hope that all of our swimmers have fun while improving their individual strokes!
Behavior:
Safety, teamwork and respect for all people and property are the most important aspects of this team. Swimmers and parents must demonstrate these aspects and follow the rules of the LHCC.
Swim Meets
Swim Meets are Fridays at 6:00 please see schedule below. We compete in the BCYF Swim League and have weekly swim meets against other BCYF Community Centers around the city. The Swim Meet Schedule is organized by the BCYF Aquatic Managers, and schedules will be given to parents. There will be a mix of both home and away meets throughout the season. At BCYF Meets, swimmers are assigned to events according to age and ability levels.
Swim Meet Transportation:
If you would prefer your child to ride in the van as opposed to in another parent's car, please let the coach know your request. Every effort will be made to honor your wishes, but the van's seating is limited.
Parents are Encouraged to Participate:
If a Parent would like to help with the swim team, there are plenty of opportunities during the swim meets to time the Monsters and cheer for them. Monster Parents who are timing should be on the deck before the meet starts while Monsters Parents who cheer for the Monsters should be in the balcony cheering loudly. We look forward to seeing you at the meets and encourage you to support your Monsters! GO MONSTERS!
Cost:
$75.00 (This includes the cost of team uniform.)
