Time Trials Process and Details:
1). We get times in the 100 Free and 100 Choice Stroke for all attendees
2). Any athlete not cleared by Athletic Trainer Sue Torres to participate in AISD
athletics will not be allowed in the pool for Time Trials. This is a legal
requirement that Coach Parks has no flexibility to negotiate unless the only
thing missing is a paper document that you bring in person the morning of
the time trials.
What if I miss Time Trials due to Athletic Form delays?
Regardless of the reason for missing time trials, any athlete who wishes to join the LASA Swim and Dive Team is still allowed to become a member of the team; however, such athletes will be automatically put on the Pre-District Team with the opportunity to provide times later at practice to earn a position on the District Team.
Please understand that Coach Parks does not want to send athletes home or keep them out of the pool after an early wake-up and 6:00am arrival, especially if it is their first interaction with our team. That being said, Athletic Forms are a non-negotiable. Please see the "How to Join" tab for instructions about athletic forms. These are the same forms for returning athletes as well.
What do I need to bring to Trials?
1). Goggles
2). Swimsuit
3). Towel
4). Change of Clothes
5). All supplies for school (athletes take bus from YMCA)
6). If by chance you completed all online forms but are only missing paper
the paper documents for Coach and Doc, bring them as well. If online forms
are not done, you cannot participate in trails and will be asked to either call
parents or wait for the bus at 7:20am.
