[quote=Anonymous]Been at LB for many years, very welcoming and open team.  Basically if you can make it across the pool (25 yards) in a "stroke" you're good to go.

From start of season (end of may) until end of MCPS, practices are 5:45-6:30P and 6:30P-7:30P M-F  Then after MCPS finishes, practices are 7a-8a, 8a-9a M-F and then 8p-9p Mo/Tu/Th. Come to as many or as few as you'd like, with the understanding that the more you go to, the more YOUR SWIMMER will benefit.  It is completely fine to come to none! (but you're paying for unlimited practices!). The evening practices tend to be VERY crowded, so your swimmer will get more attention in the morning.

As a new 8 y/o girl (assuming you mean there age will be 8 on June 1, 2024) you definitely have the possibility of getting in some "A" meets (Saturday morning) as I think we just have enough to barely fill lanes (assuming everyone returns that was under 8, and nobody new shows up)

You are 100% fine to take vacation during the swim season (although your swimmer, if she gets into it may put you on restriction!). Being as it's a county pool, there isn't a ton of activities outside of meets except for the end of season banquet (2nd to last weekend in july).  There's also Relay Carnival which is on a Sunday usually in the 2nd half of the season, but as a first year swimmer she may not get picked to go, which is also ok!

Parent informational meeting is the Tuesday AFTER memorial day (so May 28, 2024) at 7PM at Long Branch, rain or shine - please show up and bring questions!  Swimmers are also welcome.

I can't speak as to Glenmont at all, but I do know the Bethesda team is in a much more competitive division and it may be a little more pressure there.

Welcome to the fun that is MCSL summer swim![/quote]
