Liquid Lightning Swim Team Incorporated (LL) is a Michigan non-profit corporation, and is governed by a set of by-laws and a seven-member board of directors as provided for in the by-laws. Directors serve a two-year term and are elected at the LL General Meeting held each fall.

The mission of Liquid Lightning is to develop and empower swimmers at ALL levels so that they reach their highest potential as a person and athlete. We offer a comprehensive and competitive, year round program.

Our head coaches are certified in CPR, first aid, lifeguard skills and have passed the USA Swimming coaches certification test. They have competitive swimming experience and stay current with the latest developments in the sport of swimming. Visit our website for a complete biography on each of our coaches.

Communication:

Team Website- Please visit our web site at www.liquidlightning.org for information on swim meets, team swim suits and swim gear, information on our coaching staff, practice/meet calendar and email addresses for contacting your board of directors. Meet packets for meet registration may also be downloaded from the web site.

Email- Our primary means of communication is through email. It is used to distribute meet information, notify families of practice cancellations and other general correspondence.
Family Folders– A file box containing a folder for each swim family is located close to the bulletin board in the pool balcony. These folders are used for some correspondence, distribution of ribbons and medals from swim meets and other handouts. Please check your folder on a regular basis. 

Parent/Family Participation:

LL is a non-profit organization and must have volunteers to host home meets and be a successful swim club. Each swim session (spring, summer, fall and winter) will have different requirements depending on the meet schedule. The fees you pay cover only a portion of the team expenses. Families may choose to volunteer the required number of sessions per meet, or pay a $100 fee for each volunteer session missed. Conflicts or extenuating circumstances should be discussed with a board member.

Questions:

If you need to speak with one of the coaches, please do so before or after, not during, practice. Conversations held during practice take coaching time and attention away from the other swimmers.
The LL Board of Directors would like to welcome you to our swim club! We are excited to have you! Please contact us if we can help you in any way or answer questions you may have.
