Sparks Team Information

Registration for Sparks will open when resident registration begins. It will be available to residents first. Due to the season ahead involving COVID-19, we will be limiting numbers and strictly enforcing this limit. This will allow our coaches to group swimmers and stay with a group throughout the season as much as possible. Please understand, that coaches will not be wearing masks in the water, but will still be assisting your child to swim by touching and holding your child. Social distancing will not be possible during these lessons. If you are not comfortable with this, please do not sign up for the Sparks. 

It the Sparks team has reached the max limit of swimmers, please do not register your child as a 6 and under. The 6 and under team is a competitive team and these swimmers are expected to be vastly independent in the water. If he/she cannot swim the length of the pool with very little assistance, he/she does not need to be on the competitive team. We apologize for any inconvenience, but the safety of the Sparks swimmers requires close supervision, so a limited number is required. Thanks for your cooperation and understanding.

To qualify for a Spark, your child should already be comfortable in the water. Coaches will not be able to spend practice time coercing your swimmer into the water. We understand that your child may not be completely independent in the water, but he/she should be willing to participate.  

We ask Sparks parents to remain on premises during all Sparks practices. 

Please contact the swim team board at lflswimteam@gmail.com with any questions. Allow 24 hours for a response.
