June 2009
Dear Swimmers and Parents:
Most of you have heard by now that the Flower Mound pool is open again and we will resume our normal Summer Schedule. I want to thank Mike Yearwood, Shannon Gillespy and Nina Arnett for working hard to get LISD to respond to our needs and fix the pool. As they worked on the school district they also made contingency plans and schedule changes at the other pools to accommodate our needs. We are also thankful that LISD was able to correct the problems with the air conditioners so quickly. We expect that the Flower Mound pool to be fully operational for the rest of the season.
With the growth of our team and the availability of five great facilities, LAC is learning to utilize our many resources (coaches and pools) to keep our swimmers in the water. We have learned the benefits several times in the past few months. The Swine Flu outbreak shut most teams down in North Texas but we were able to use TWU and Keller for practice. TWU had problems with chemicals this week and the Denton swimmers were directed to The Colony and Keller. We have had swim meets shut one pool down but work outs were moved to other facilities and our swimmers enjoyed training together. There is no other team in North Texas that can offer this kind of flexibility. And with any luck we will have access to the newest and nicest pool in the state within two years right here in Flower Mound.
I heard from many parents that there are concerns that LAC would soon stop utilizing the Flower Mound pool. Our team cannot exist without that pool. Our team is so large that we are overflowing as it is. I expect the coaches to utilize all five pools in a similar fashion as they did last year and the schedules for most groups should be very similar. We hope to have the schedule for next season published by the end of next month.
I understand that there is a pool that is most convenient for each of us. But I hope the last few months have taught us that we are one team with five pools. Our coaches are going to utilize all of them to best serve all of our swimmers. Be assured that the coaches and board are working hard to make sure we offer the best training and program for everyone and over time we will grow to be the best team in Texas.
