Hello Lake Marion Lasers and Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

This is a longer message but it is full of essential information. Thank you for taking the time to read to the very end!

Practice Begins 

Tuesday, May 28th is the first day of swim team practice for those swimmers not on preteam. How exciting! 4:15 – 5:30 PM is for current middle and high school students. 5:30 – 6:30 PM is for current elementary school students.

We are excited to welcome Head Coach Nick Keeler! Assistant Coach Rachel Sharp is returning, and we will have 4 swimmer coaches: Emily Turner, Izzy Najarro, Ellie Mikula & Melanie Falcone.

Swimmers, please show your team spirit by wearing a Lake Marion t-shirt or red and black to school on Tuesday!

Please note: Preteam evaluations will be next week. If you have a preteam swimmer, please look for a separate email from Alison and Cindy, our preteam reps, with all of the details.

Please keep in mind the following as we start the season this week:

1. Only swimmers who are registered and paid may participate in practice. This is an insurance requirement and we cannot make any exceptions.

2. Swimmers or a parent/guardian MUST show a valid 2024 pass to enter the pool.  This is an MVF rule.  

3. A parent/guardian, age 16 or older, must remain on the pool deck during practice with swimmers under the age of 10. This is also an MVF rule. 

4. During the first week of practice, a member of the committee will be near the front desk to check in swimmers/families prior to them turning in their activity card to enter the pool deck. Please bring payment, cash or check, if you have not paid.
