Good evening Lightning families,

Thank you all for your patience with us during our first week of summer swim! We want to thank Jennifer Ng for taking our team pictures this week. It's always a little hectic, but we finished the team and individual/family pictures in an hour! That may be a record!

Also, thank you to all of you for being patient with us yesterday and today during our practices. Afternoon practices are always a little crazy and chaotic because we are trying to squeeze a lot into a small time frame. Once morning practices start, things will get less chaotic, as age group practice times are spread out a little more.

A couple of reminders:

1. We do NOT have practice tomorrow (Friday). We will have our next afternoon practice on Monday. See you then!

2. IMPORTANT: Don't forget that volunteer sign-ups go live at 5:00 p.m on Sunday, May 19. To sign up, you will login to your Swimtopia account from our Lake Forest Swimtopia page. Click HERE to go to our website. Once you login, click on "Meets" at the top of the page. You will see our meets list, and then you will click on "Job Signup Open" to sign up for your slots. See below:

3. Remember, if you are a Spark parent, you do NOT have to volunteer. If you are a 6 and under parent, your swimmer will be finished swimming by the end of Shift A, so keep that in mind when signing up for shifts.

4. Each family must sign up for at least 2 bullpen shifts.

Lastly, if you are unsure about which jobs to sign up for, our website has some great information you can read through. Click HERE to view job descriptions for all of our volunteer positions, as well as the family requirements.

As always, please let us know if you have any questions! 

Sincerely,

Heather Otwell
