WELCOME TO OUR 2004 SUMMER SWIMMING
PROGRAM!
The summer program officially starts with the Lake Saint
Louis Swim Team Parent Meeting that will be held on Sunday, June
6th at 5pm under the pool deck at the Community Association. We
request that at least one parent from each family attend the meeting.
The meeting will include: 1) an introduction of our coaches; 2)
a brief description of key dates in the season; 3) swim meet sign
up procedures; 4) distribution of the team t-shirts and swim caps;
5) stations to review swim meet volunteering roles; 6) opportunity
to pre-register for the two swim stoke clinics plus sign ups for
the first meet and the All-County meet; and 7) an opportunity to
purchase team suits, goggles, etc. Also, ALL new families to the
team are asked to please bring your swimmers. They will be meeting
separately with our coaching staff during this same time to acclimate
them to our program.
Welcome back to the many families that participated in our swim
program in the past. The Swim Board and coaches would like to extend
a very special welcome to the 28 new families that have joined the
team for the first time this year. We have over 160 competitive
swimmers on the team and already over 70 children signed up for
our swim lesson program. With all of our collective swimming talent,
we are sure to continue the winning tradition of Lake Saint Louis
Sea Loins.
Best of luck, swimmers!

SWIM MEET VOLUNTEER REMINDER
Our first swim meet is only three weeks away and with that comes
the need for many volunteer helpers to ensure that our meets run
smoothly. The Swim Board would like to especially thank those who
have volunteered to be the "Lead Volunteer" for key positions.
They are as follows: Cathy Thurwachter - Meet Starter; Sheri Taylor
& Michelle Williams - Co-Volunteer Coordinators; Kathy Park
- Head Bull Pen; Patty Solomon & Margo Guerrettaz - Concessions;
Kathy Cumbie - Head Stroke Judge; Joanna Holliday - T-Shirts &
Sponsorships; Barb Bellows - Picnic; and Sandra Boll - Head Ribbon
Table. Enclosed you will find the master copy of the volunteer list
along with the complete phone roster for the team. As a reminder
if you are scheduled to work a meet and have a conflict, you are
responsible for finding your own substitute. Finally, the volunteer
check-in for each meet will be staged next to the meet card pick
up area. Scheduled volunteers, please check in with Sheri Taylor
or Michelle Williams prior to the beginning of the meet. Thanks
in advance for your volunteer support. We couldn't run the team
without YOU!
