(Note - this is still 2009 information)
Lakeridge Swim Club is a part of the Seattle Summer Swim League's Southern Division. Our team swimmers range in age from 5 through 18 and in abilities from successfully achieving the other end of the pool through Age-group State Competitors. The goals of our swim team are individual improvement and having fun.
The Southern Division Pools have all filled out a SSSL Meet Hosting Questionnaire which provides you with further information about the other pools such as where to park and where the Lakeridge team area is once you get there.
At the bottom of this page, is the practice schedule and the swim meet schedule.
We also have links to:
The SSSL Qualifying Times and two different FAQ1 & FAQ2 regarding swim suits as well as photos of each at the bottom of this page.
For directions to other swim clubs go to the List of Web sites of the other swim clubs. Each club website contains directions to that swim club.
For directions to Lakeridge check out the bottom of our home page.
If you need more information, send us an email and we'll fill you in on all the details lakeridgeswimclub@yahoo.com
We had four coaches in 2009, Head-Coach Lindsay Soetaert, Assistant Coaches Becky Alhadeff, Tom Shonka and Amy Bassett.
Parents
We are asking all swim team parents to support the team by volunteering. New this year will be required ‘volunteer’ commitments from each family to help out with the team. This requirement can be met by helping out at concessions (several shifts are available each meet in addition to shopping, set up and clean up), timing, coordinating the pancake breakfast, swim-a-thon, etc. Volunteer opportunities will be listed on the registration forms – if you have any questions or suggestions, just ask! Each family will be required to volunteer several times throughout the swim season.…. it's the only way we can ensure our team's success and our collective sanity. Stay tuned for details!
To sign-up your swimmer, print out the swim team Registration Forms and the SSSL Participation Form and bring them with your payment to the pool office.
We have a Swim Team Parent Handbook to get you started on learning the ins and outs of being part of the swim team and a 2009 Reference Material packet with important dates including the team schedule and other information you'll want throughout the season.
