President's Message

Welcome to all swimmers and swim families – all those who are new to the club as well as all swimmers returning for another year.  LAC is looking forward to an exciting year of challenging training and excellent performances. 
It was great to see so many families on Saturday morning at the time trial and breakfast event. Thank you to all who helped make this a success. Paul Midgley’s talk on his “Olympic Experience” was interesting and inspiring. Andrew Craven’s talk on plans of action and swimming goals was informative for new swimmers and their parents as well as a refresher for returning members.
We are looking forward to the annual LAC banquet on the15th October where we will celebrate the success of the 2007-2008 swim season and welcome new swimmers. Social starting at 5:30pm, dinner at 6:30pm
If anyone has any questions, concerns or suggestions speak with any member of the board. 
My telephone number is 519-657-1262  email:Contact List
All coaching issues, questions etc should be directed to the coaches.
Sincerely
Alison Nell, LAC President
