Updates from the LTST Directors - June 9, 2023
Hi Seahorse Families,
Just a few quick notes as we head into the weekend!
SETUP TOMORROW
Tomorrow morning, we will be setting up our shared shade tents again beginning at 7:30 AM. If you’re able to lend a hand, we would welcome setup help at that time. We also appreciate anyone who can stay until the end of the meet to break down the pop-ups and store them away for next time.
As Matt Worster mentioned, RSM is a large team, so we appreciate you being conscientious with parking and deck space. Thanks in advance for keeping your family’s setup footprint as compact as possible! As a reminder, setup may begin at 7:30 AM.
MOMS NIGHT TOMORROW! **note time correction**
LT Moms, we would love to see you tomorrow evening at Wine Thieves for a casual evening of wine tasting and snacks. Say "hi" to old friends and welcome new ones to the LT family!
Saturday, June 10 from 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Wine Thieves: 3401 Mt. Diablo Boulevard, Lafayette
(held in the outdoor space behind the store)
The cost is $35 per Mom, and all you need to do to sign up is Venmo our Family Social Coordinator, Kellie Piacente. Venmo: @kellie-piacente
Hope you can make it! Questions? [email protected] or (925) 212-3910
BATTLE OF THE AGES
Signup is open for Battle of the Ages! Battle of the Ages is a 2-day invitational meet hosted by the Pleasant Hill Dolfins on June 24 and 25. At this meet, swimmers compete against other swimmers of their OWN AGE - for example, 11 year-olds swim only against 11 year-olds. 12 year-olds swim only against 12 year-olds. It's a particularly fun meet for swimmers who are in their "down" year. As with other invitational meets, you may choose your swimmer's events. Please read all the details on the website calendar. (Note the different location this year!)
There are entry fees associated with this invitational meet. Families are responsible for $10 per swimmer, and LT will pick up the remaining balance. Your card will be charged once entries are finalized. There are no refunds. The deadline to enter the meet is June 10 at 5:00 PM. Also note that participating families will be asked to work a short timing shift at the meet.
UPDATED Meet Location for 2023 ONLY: College Park High School 201 Viking Drive Pleasant Hill, CA 94523
SATURDAY EVENTS: Mixed Distance Free, Breaststroke, Butterfly
SUNDAY EVENTS: Individual Medley, Backstroke, Freestyle

ALL-POOL SUMMER BBQ
This year, we are starting a new monthly BBQ series at the pool, on Thursday evenings from 5-8pm starting on June 15, two weeks from today. These are casual gatherings to bring the LT community (both Swim Team and non-team families) together and have an easy dinner with minimal effort and lots of fun! Mark your calendars for all the summer BBQ Thursdays:
- June 15 - next week!
- July 20
- August 24
- Sept 21
We'll have the grill going and will be offering hot dogs, hamburgers and impossible burgers with a side of chips for $5 each, from 5:30-6:30pm. We'll also have a hosted keg of Canyon Club beer for adults and lemonade for kids; any other sides or drinks are BYO.
To pull this off in our first year, we need your help! We have a few volunteer slots that need to be filled to help with food prep and register. Please check out the SignUpGenius to grab a slot. The shifts are short and sweet.
See you at the pool!
Kindly,
Marisa and Dana
