Thank you to all of the parents that were able to attend our informational sessions yesterday evening! We are so excited to have your swimmers back in the pool and looking forward to a great season.

Below is a summary of the information we shared, some additional resources, and maybe a couple of corrections. Please take time to read through and and let me know if you have any questions or concerns:

Pool and Facility Usage:

If you have not already done so, please be sure that you complete your facility waiver for 2025 and review the Pool Rules provided by the POA:

• LCPOA - Amenity Waiver 2025 - Fillable.pdf
• Pool Rules.pdf

Residents should bring their pool access card to every practice and home meet, and make sure that your card is labeled with a name and phone number in case of loss.

Non-resident swimmers are not permitted to purchase a pool access card, but our coaches, board, and parents will ensure that you are able to access the pool and facilities for all events.

Practice

We encourage you to attend as many practices as possible, but we understand that families are busy and things come up that may prevent your attendance. You are not required to notify coaches if you have to miss practice. For the month of May, our practice schedule will be as follows:

• Ages 6 and under: 5:00 - 5:30 PM
• Ages 7 - 8: 5:30 - 6:00 PM
• Ages 9-10: 6:00 - 6:30 PM
• Ages 11+: 6:30 - 7:00 PM

Please make sure that your swimmer has an appropriate suite, goggles, and a towel for each practice.

Swimsuits

Swim Freak is an official sponsor of the Maverick Swim League and they will be at our pool during all practice times on Tuesday, May 13 for swimsuit fittings and purchases. If you are not able to attend practice on this date and wish to purchase a team suit, you may visit the Thousand Oaks location of Swim Freak to purchase your suit.

You are not required to wear a team suit to practice, however we do encourage all female swimmers to wear a one-piece suit to avoid any issues as swimmers practice diving off the blocks.

Swimtopia:

If you have not already done so, download the Swimtopia app on your phone. You will be able to log into your Tiger Sharks account, declare for meets, sign up for volunteer positions and track your swimmer's meet results! There are free and paid options for you to choose from.

Swim Meet and Volunteer Positions:

We need YOU to volunteer at swim meets! It takes approximately 50 people per meet to make it happen. Please take time to log into your Swimtopia account and sign up to volunteer at each meet. 

If this is your first year on our swim team, check out our volunteer page on our website to learn more about each position. 

Some positions are essential to running an effective meet and require additional league training. 

• Stroke and Turn Judge: Stands poolside and watches for swim stroke infractions. Requires easy training at a 2 hour league run free clinic to learn the current league & swim stroke rules. Great for people with competitive swim experience, but ANYONE can be taught at a free league clinic.
• Meet Referee & Starter: Ensures fairness for all swimmers. Requires easy training at a free league run clinic and must have worked at least 1 year prior as a Stroke & Turn Judge. Knows the current league rules.

Maverick Swim League offers three opportunities for training:

• Where: Jewish Community Center, 12500 NW Military Highway, Rooms 227/8/9
• When: Saturday May 10, Saturday May 17 and Sunday May 18.
• Recertification sessions will be held from 1:00 to 2:00 pm.
• New official training will be held from 2:00 to 4:00 pm.

If you are interested in one of the following positions (and a $50 registration rebate) please reach out to me for more information.
