Things to Know!

  1. Parents are required to attend the Parent Meeting in late May at 6:00pm at the Lions Park Pool Pavilion. Parents will receive the Team Handbook along with key information to make your swimmer’s season a success.
  2. Swimmers are required to complete a swim test at the first team practice. Swimmers are required to swim 1 length (25 yards) of freestyle and backstroke unassisted. If the swimmer is unable to swim the required distance a refund will be issued. Swimmers need to be registered by the first day of practice to swim.
  3. Swimmers will swim freestyle and backstroke to record a time, which determines placement on the “A” or “B” teams.
  4. Parents are essential to making a swim meet happen. Each parent is required to volunteer for at least two dual meets for your swimmer to compete in a Conference Meet.
  5. Team suit and apparel is not required, but popular with swimmers. Visit the Sea Lions Swim Team Store at the Park District website. Order early!
