LNST Would Like To Welcome You Back For Our 2017 Season!
A Few Things To Note Before You Move On To Registration:
This year we will be using a new system for registration, meet sign in, volunteer sign up, and communication called Swim Manager.
Please expect team emails to start right before the season (around May 19th). If you are not receiving emails or should you have any questions, please contact us.
All team suits will be sold by Aquawear this year. They will have them available at the Open House on April 17th from 1-4 pm, as well as personalized swim caps. If you are not able to come to the open house, you can go to Aquawear at any time to buy a suit. All caps must be ordered by April 17th to be personalized--if you can not be at Open House but would like a cap, please call Aquawear to order: 461-8552. Team suits are not required, but we would ask that each swimmer have a team swim cap (plain or personalized.) It is against VBSL policy to wear a cap featuring a year round team, a college team, or a high school team. Please show your Blue Dolphin pride!
We send out a lot of updates via text message using Remind 101--you need to sign up using the following link: Remind LNST. This is the best way to quickly let you know about delays/changes (and sometimes the only way when dealing with weather delays/changes.) Please sign up!
Psyche Buddies are BACK!
Everyone is invited to participate! If you are not familiar with our Psyche Buddy Program, we pair up swimmers to support each other during the season. It is a way for the swimmers to get to know each other better and to share their love for Summer Swim Team! Please look at the forms to see if your swimmer would be a Big or a Little or contact Leslie (leslieannenelson@gmail.com) if you have any questions.
There will be a meeting for the BIGS on Friday, June 2nd at 6:15 at the pool and then the MEET & GREET will be Sunday, June 11th 4-5.
A Few Things To Note Before You Move On To Registration:
- All participants must be members in good standing at Little Neck Swim Club.
- All participants must be able to swim one full length (25m) across the pool--there will be a swim test during the first practice.
- All families will be required to complete 4 volunteer shifts (4 volunteer points) during the season, even if your child never swims in a meet. Failure to do so will result in a $50 fine per shift.
- Anyone registering after May 30th will have to pay a 10$ late fee charge.

Minimum Requirements to Participate
- Participants must be members of LNSRC in good standing.
- Minimum age for participation is 4 years old as of Memorial Day. 4 year old swimmers will only be accepted to the team if they have the necessary maturity and ability to pay attention to instruction for a 45 minute practice session.
- Swimmers 8 years old and younger must be able to swim the full length of the competition pool and be able to tread water for one minute.
- New swimmers to LNST 8 years old and younger will be evaluated on the first days of practice to determine if they are ready to participate on the team.
- Swimmers who are not able to join the team at the beginning of the season because they are not able to pass the minimum requirements may join at any point later in the season when they can demonstrate that they can meet the requirements.
- Parents/Guardians are required to fill volunteer positions as established by the Swim Team committee. Each family is required to commit to 4 shifts per season. Failure to follow through with these shifts will result in a $50 fine per shift, and the balance must be paid before my swimmer can register for the 2017 season.
