Coho Racing Update
March 19 & 21: LCSC Spring Championships @ Rec
Center
A restricted number of our top-level Coho swimmers have the
opportunity to officially race and compete in the “Virtual
Michigan Swimming State Championships” during this
event. As the MHHS determines updated guidelines for
indoor activities, we are working with the Rec Center to determine
the number of athletes allowed to race during each
session. Our goal with this event is to offer Coho
state-level swimmers the opportunity to achieve official times in
preparation for the 2021 summer championship
season.
Friday afternoon start times have changed: Session 1 warm-up begins
at 2:30, and events begin at 3:00 p.m.; Session 2 warm-up begins no
earlier than 4:15, and events begin at 4:55.
March 20: Bronze/Silver Graduation/IMX

Session III Begins April 5
LCSC is preparing to open registration for Session III later in the
month. Thank you to all of our returning families! We
are still working under capacity restrictions to ensure
safety. This limits our total number of registrants;
Coho families are being contacted by the coaching staff to confirm
Coho swimmers are prepared to meet the group prerequisites before
registering for Session III.
What to Expect as LCSC Continues to Practice
1. Please continue to stay safe and stay home if you have any
Covid-19 symptoms.
LCSC is following the recommendations of Wayne County’s
“Return to School Roadmap”:

2. Wear your mask and social distance at all times when in
the Rec Center. This includes dry land training, waiting
behind the blocks to enter the pool, and using the
restrooms.
3. Maintaining safe distance in the water, while resting and/or
receiving instruction.
Please be aware of social distancing while in the water while
resting and receiving instructions.
4. Direct instruction and practice time to correctly
perform basic and advanced racing skills. In
swimming, the combination of excellent instruction and time to
fine-tune those skills is the path to success. Coho
coaches are well prepared daily to offer excellent instruction, and
our Board of Directors have been tenacious in providing pool time
so that our young swimmers have the best opportunities to be
successful Coho swimmers.
Thank you for keeping all Cohoes safe!
Your LCSC Coho Coaches
