Lone Star Aquatic Club (LSAC) - A USA Swimming Team in Round Rock, Texas

Jan. 27, 2012 17:28pm

Dear Parents, We were just notified by the UIW Campus Police, that there will be a fun run 5 K on UIW campus Saturday morning only. It had to be relocated from a previously scheduled venue.

They will set up at 6:00AM, and the event will be complete around 11:00am. You will be allowed to park on the MAIN CAMPUS which is EAST side of the River bridge basically (the NON ATHLETICS SIDE OF CAMPUS). You will be allowed to park in the Agnese Sosa Parking Garage, or Parking spaces on the Southeast side of the main campus. It is maybe a 200 yard walk to the Natatorium. There is a chance that you will be allowed to drop kids and materials off at the Gym then go park as long as the run hasn't started yet.

We are expecting a Great Meet this weekend. Thank you for understanding.

Jan. 23, 2012 22:28pm

We are adding two new swim meets to our schedule. You may now enter the AAAA BB+ swim meet in San Antonio and the Jan Maresca Invitational at Southwestern University in Georgetown. Entries will close for both swim meets @ 11:59pm this Thursday night.

We encourage all swimmers 14 and under to participate in the Jan Maresca Invitational. This is a great opportunity for all new swimmers on our team to compete in. Please review the meet info below and email me with your entries.

In order to compete in the San Antonio meet, you must have received a BB qualifying time in the event you want to swim. If you have any questions, please contact myself or any of the coaches and we will assist you.

Dear Lone Star Families,

The heater at the YMCA pool is not working and the pool temperature is too cold for swimming (75 degrees and dropping). Therefore, we are cancelling all practices for today. The heater is scheduled to be replaced on Friday but that may not provide enough time to get the water temperature high enough for practice on Friday. Please stay tuned and we will send out a notice about practice tomorrow depending on the pool temperature.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Sincerely,
LSAC Board

Dec. 26, 2011 14:28pm

We will resume our regular practices on Monday, Dec 26th. See you at the pool!

Dec. 20, 2011 18:28pm

Happy Holidays!

We had several outstanding swims this last weekend. Our swimmers swam almost flawlessly during the three days of competition. We consider ourselves privileged to coach such a fine group of individuals. It's rare to see a group of swimmers step up and perform the way you guys did. Great job everyone!

We want to also thank the parents. We appreciate the support you showed during competition. Without it, our swimmers would not have performed as well as they did.

All ribbons will be placed in the family folders tonight. Please be sure to pick them up.

We have three meets scheduled for January. The first two, The B Championship and the TXLA New Years Classic, require that a swimmer has achieved their National B time standard. The BB Championship requires a National BB cut in order for an athlete to participate. Click here to view the National Age Group Motivational Times.

Please review the meet info below to find more about timeline, order of events, and cost per event. We are asking everyone to signup at the pool or via email before January 3rd. Please email me at lsaccoach@hotmail.com

If you need any help with signing up, a coach or board member will be able to help you out at the pool.

Take it easy!

Twas a few weeks before Christmas and what do I see, hundreds of families surrounding me.

From all around Round Rock, near and far, they've come to win cupcakes, it's not so bazaar.

They have no idea from where they were baked, but they all tasted yummy for goodness sake.

LSAC is the sponsor for the cupcake walk, it's a great time to help and drink hot chocolate and talk. So how can you help? I'm so glad you asked. I'll need about 400 cupcakes to last, From 6:30pm, December 9, in downtown Round Rock, it will be a blast!

If each of the LSAC family brings one or two dozen, there will be plenty for everyone, even their cousins! I will need lots of helpers to run this event. So email me, or call, we'll be warm in the tent! Thank you for reading my silly rhyme.

I will need people to volunteer to run the booth in 15 min increments so let me know which time works for you. We will begin at 6:30 pm, December 9th and close at 8:45pm. The event is fun for the whole family. I'll be taking cupcake donations Thursday, December 8th at the pool from 4 - 7pm and again on Friday, December 9 until 5pm. All cupcakes need to be delivered in stackable boxes for transport to the event.

Please contact me with any questions.

Dear Team,

It's that time again!!! The first swim meet of the Short Course 2011-12 season is right around the corner. San Antonio Streamline Aquatics is hosting the Sombrero Kick off at the University of the Incarnate Word on October 15-16th. This swim meet is open to all swimmers and all swimmers are encouraged to attend.

If you are new to the team, please understand that it is important for your swimmer to swim at meets. Swim meets provide our athletes with the opportunity to put what they learned in practice to work and see the benefits of their training. All of our swimmers work very hard and the coaches are extremely proud of each and every one of them.

In order to sign up, all you need to do is email me the events you want your swimmer to swim. The events are listed in here. Each swimmer may enter up to 5 events a day and you can pick the days you want to come. You are NOT required to swim both days.

The cost for each event is $7.25 plus a one time $6.00 coaching fee. So, one event would be $13.25, two events would be $20.50, and so on. Please place a check covering your meet fees made out to Lone Star Aquatics in the treasurer's box at the pool.

The deadline for entries is next Friday, September 23rd. I will be available for questions everyday at the pool.

Again, we coaches cannot express enough the importance of attending swim meets. They are fun and an extremely important learning tool that is essential to your child's growth as a swimmer. Please let me know if you have any questions.

All swimmers will need to register again for the new season. We are offering the option FOR RETURNING SWIMMERS ONLY to mail in their registration packets during July instead of attending an in-person registration. Space in each group is limited, and spots will go to returning swimmers on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you need help determining which group to join, you can email Coach Adam at LSACCOACH@hotmail.com.

To Mail In your Registration Packet (returning swimmers only):

1. Go to http://www.lonestaraquatics.com/forms.php and Print the "2011-12 Fall Season Registration Packet."
2. Complete all pages of the packet.
3. Calculate the amount due. The amount due per swimmer is the first month's coaching fee + the USA Swimming fee ($68) + the Team Registration fee ($100). The USA Swimming registration will be extended through the end of 2012. If there are any amounts due, you will be billed and are expected to pay the balance due before swimming resumes on August 29th.
4. Mail the completed packet and your check made payable to "Lone Star Aquatic Club" to:

LSAC
P.O. Box 851
Round Rock, TX 78680

5. The packet must be received before August 1st to be given priority placement. Packets will be processed in the order in which they are received. Incomplete packets will not be processed.
6. You will receive an email confirming the acceptance of your registration.

If you cannot mail in your registrations, there will be 2 in-person registrations at the Y:

August 2nd 4:30-6:30 pm: RETURNING SWIMMERS ONLY
August 9th 4:30-6:30 pm: New and Returning Swimmers

NOTE: SWIMMERS NEW TO USA SWIMMING MUST PROVIDE A COPY OF BIRTH CERTIFICATE. THIS IS REQUIRED FOR ALL USA SWIMMING ATHLETES THE FIRST TIME REGISTERING.

Dear Lone Star Families:

As many of you know, our big travel meet to Corpus Christi is fast approaching. We have a lot of swimmers and families attending. We hope everyone has a great time and swims fast.

Because of the large number of swimmers attending this meet we will need all of our coaches to also attend. Thus, we will be cancelling practice on Friday, June 17th and Monday, June 20th to allow our coaches to attend this important meet and travel to and from Corpus Christi.

Practice will return to its normal schedule on Tuesday, June 21st. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Sincerely,
LSAC Board
