The LHS Swim and Dive Team is a "no cut" organization. All participants are welcomed to participate and learn the sport. New swimmers will be introduced to the fundamentals of each stroke as well as flip turns and entry dives.
The team suit is selected each year by the team captains and will be required for all meets. Cost of the suit is typically around $60, and it will be worn only at meets during the entire season. Once the season is complete, the suit can be worn for practices.
After several weeks of practice and prior to the first conference meet, time trials are held to determine placement of all swimmers to the JV and Varsity teams. Each swimmer is timed in a variety of events. This assists the coaching staff with seeding the meets and can reveal individual stroke giftedness within the team.
