Swim Team Information Our Goal The goal of the Lowry Swim Team is to make the swim team experience a successful and happy time for all swimmers. Practices will be enjoyable and swimmers will find a pleasant environment filled with rich and challenging experiences. Swim team is for swimmers ages 5-18 or anyone whi can swim the width of the pool without stopping and can float on their back without help. Please contact Coach Kristin should you have any questions! The benefits of competitive swimming are many. Swimmers will have the opportunity to meet people and make new friends, participate in one of the most beneficial forms of cardiovascular exercise, develop the lifetime sport of swimming, and develop time management skills, self-discipline, and sportsmanship. Your swimmer will continue to reap the benefits of participation long after his or her association with the Lowry Dolphins. Dolphin’s Season The Dolphin Swim Team practices are Monday through Thursday and end the week of the City Meet (which is usually the first weekend in August). We participate in the Denver Swimming League and will compete against other Denver area pools during the season. Swim meets are held every weekend, either on Friday evenings or Saturday mornings. Lowry Swim Teams The Lowry Swim Team has two different swim teams, the Grey team and the Purple team. In order for the coaches to determine what team would best fit your child’s swimming ability, we offer two free one week events. I would encourage you to participate in our “Try It Out” week or the “Dolphin Reunion” - dates to be announced in the Spring 2011. Upcoming Swim Team Events “Try It Out” Week This year new swimmers are invited to attend our “Try It Out” week. This week is designed for swimmers who have not participated in the Lowry swim team before and would like to “try it out” to see if swim team is right for them. This week also gives families an opportunity to try the sport of age-group competitive swimming prior to making a financial commitment. “Dolphin Reunion” Week If you have already participated in the Lowry Swim Team in past seasons and are interested in joining again this year, you are invited to attend our free week long “Dolphin Reunion”. During this week, swimmers will be able to reunite with old friends and play some games to practice their strokes and build endurance. Lowry Swim Team Open Meets can sometimes be a scary and unfamiliar adventure for new swimmers. The purpose of this meet is to ease swimmers into the swim meet culture by creating a fun and stress-free experience as well as familiarize former swimmers with swimming rules and regulations. This swim meet is open to ALL Lowry Club members’ ages 5-18 who would like to participate. This opportunity will allow swimmers and parents to experience a swim meet, ask questions, and see all that a swim meet entails.
Participants receive 1st through 6th place awards in each swimming event. There is no charge for participating in this event. Swim Team Ice Cream Social Swimmers and their parents will have the opportunity to meet the coaches and interact with other swimmers on the team. Swim team registration forms, swimmer information paperwork, summer meet schedule and other important information will be available during the social. If you have any questions regarding swim team, please don’t hesitate to ask. Coach Kristin can be reached at
