We’ve Started Fall/Winter Practice!
Middle School swim team has started and our practice times have moved to Tuesday evening, 6-8 pm, Friday afternoons 1:30-3:30 (when available) and Saturday morning 8-10 am (when available). We will return to normal practice times after December 6: Tuesday & Wednesday, 3:30-5:30 pm and Friday, 1:30-3:30 pm.
The Lovell Swim Club is open to swimmers ages 8 and up who want to prepare for competition and hone their competitive skills. The club practices three to four times a week in the Lovell school pool located at the west end of Carmon Avenue in Lovell, Wyoming.
The Lovell Swim Club is not a learn to swim program, and all swimmers must be able to swim at least two lengths (50 meters) of the pool without stopping, preferably freestyle.
How can I join the club?
Drop by the pool during practice times and check us out, or call Coach Fuller (it’s in the phone book).
Cost is $25/month, payable at the first practice of the month.
What do I get for my monthly fee?
The Lovell Swim Club provides 3-4 swim practices a week, guided by a USA Swimming registered and certified coach. Practices consist of a warm up, main set, instruction on stroke technique, starts and turns, and a cool down. The main set may be stroke drills or interval sets designed to help you become a faster, more efficient swimmer.
There's always a coach at practice and an American Red Cross certified lifeguard for the swimmer's safety.
What should I bring to practice?
- Competition suit (no two piece suits), swim cap (for those with medium and long hair), and a pair of googles that keep water out of your eyes. Optional: long swim fins, paddles and pull buoy. Competitive swimwear is available locally at the Powell Aquatic Center, and in Billings at Big Bear Sports, Gart Sports Authority, and check our links to online outlets.
- A positive attitude
- Willingness to learn about swimming and to workout with swimmers of all ages and abilities.
When are practices?
Practices change according to the Lovell school pool availability. This fall practices are scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, 3:30-5:30 pm; Friday 1:30-3:30 with an occasional Saturday morning 8-10 am practice. Check this website for the monthly calendar and for cancellations.
Note for parents/guardians:
The Lovell Swim Club coaches make every effort to allow time for swimmers to shower and dress within the set practice time. We ask that parents/guardians be prompt to pick up their swimmer so coaches and/or lifeguards are not waiting for you to pick up your swimmer after practice is over.
Where do we compete?
Our members have the option of joining USA Swimming through the Local Swim Committee, Wyoming Swimming. Currently our swimmers swim unattached, meaning they do not belong to a USA Swimming sponsored club. We provide registration forms and meet information for those who want to compete in area USA Swimming meets. Older swimmers may be interested in joining US Masters Swimming (ages 18 and up), also as unattached swimmers, through Colorado Masters Swimming. With two USA Swimming certified coaches, we will make every effort to have a coach attend local meets with the swimmers as needed.
