ABOUT THE LAKELAND SWIM CLUB
The Lakeland Swim Club was established in the 1970’s to promote the sport of swimming and was organized for educational and competitive purposes. LSC is an age group swimming program that offers competitive swimming for anyone that can make one length of the pool. Swimmers are coached in the four basic strokes of competitive swimming: butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle. Correct procedures for touches, turns and starts are taught during each season. We hope to develop each swimmer’s potential to the fullest by teaching stroke technique and skills for racing, building endurance and by helping each swimmer develop the motivation to achieve his or her personal best. We are a teaching program but also a competitive swim team so participation in meets is expected.
Board of Directors
Our club is governed by a Board of Directors that is comprised of parents, elected by parents for one-year terms. Elections are held in the spring at the annual Awards Banquet where a short business meeting is also held. The Board sets policy, handles finances, and ensures that the club is being run in a manner consistent with the wishes of the majority of the parents. Meetings are held monthly. Dates and times are posted in advance on the website. We encourage parents to attend these meetings and to run for positions on the board as they open. Copies of the LSC Bylaws are available upon request from any Board Member.
Coaching Staff
Our coaches are approachable and want to hear from parents. If parents have questions, concerns or comments (positive or negative) for the coaching staff please feel free to bring them directly to the Head Coach. It is preferable to approach the staff before or after practice as during practice is for the kids. All discussions will be kept confidential. Contact information for the Head Coach is available on the website.
