LSC
Families,
I believe LSC is one of the first
clubs active on the system this year. Now that we are up and
running and swimmers registered we can make submissions to
meets.
Meet Entry
Process
Here is the way meets work at
LSC. All swimmers that qualify are expected to attend (this is
the "exam" after all) and so we put in entries for the
swimmers.
Swimmers just need to cancel (before the
deadline).
Don't cancel .. you are "in".
Watch the website for the entries shortly before the
meet.
To be clear .. coaches make the entries.
Parents get to support the decision and respect the work done in
practice and give hugs to swimmers at the end of the meet regardless
of what happens.
To cancel you
must send an email to meetentries@lakeshoreswimclub.com
Do not send a personal email to your
coach. The above email goes to all the coaches in the
club, just in case we need to cover one another or help with
entries and so on. Please feel free to give a comment.
You will find that as a coach working hard through the season at
practices .. nothing makes a connection between effort and results
like a meet.
One last note. Nothing is
certain.
The pool infrastructure in this province is
terrible. We enter meets well before the deadline but are up
against over 100 clubs doing the same thing. Some host clubs
set parameters for a meet that work against us .. other
parameters work in our favour. Sometimes we get 24 hours
notice for entry .. other times we can work in confidence months
away from the meet. If it changes no one is more disappointed
than the coaches (no one).
If we don't get into a meet and have to adjust
.. stay tuned and go with the flow.
