Aqua Posse
International Meet Results:
LCAT had another great weekend of
racing July 11-13th in El Paso taking 2nd Place overall at the Aqua
Posse International Swim Meet. This is the highest placing LCAT
has had in over two years against the El Paso teams.
This was also LCAT’s
largest contingent in El Paso in recent history with 49 Swimmers
representing the team over the weekend. “Once again our swimmers
competed as a team! They were supportive of each other and their
performance in the water was indicative of the hard work and commitment
they have demonstrated in practice. They have set themselves up
to have a very successful championship season."
Congratulations
to our First time Long Course meet participants!

comes to Las Cruces from Laramie , Wyoming where she served as Assistant
Coach for the University of Wyoming . In addition to being our new
Silver Coach, Coach Heidi is also the Head Assistant Coach for the
NMSU Aggies Women’s Swim Team. Coach Heidi is an ASCA (American
Swim Coaches Association) Level 5 coach and has experience working
with swimmers of all ages and abilities including the National Level.
Having an experienced coach such as Heidi will bring a new level
of professionalism to our team and is an incredible opportunity
for age group swimmers to learn from a national level coach. Please
welcome Heidi and her family to the Las Cruces area and to LCAT.
New Meet
Billing Procedure:
To further our attempt to make things
more efficient and easier for everyone. LCAT is beginning a new
billing procedure for our swim meets starting this State meet. After
coaches enter the swimmers in the meet, all entry fees will be included
in the next Monthly billing statement.
Also, in the past $.50
per individual event has been charged to help cover the cost of
swim caps and relays (LCAT does not charge for either). A $3.00
LCAT Meet fee will be included with the entry taking the place of
the $.50 charge. Please do not give coaches checks for swim meet
fees or DUES. If you have any questions please contact your swimmer’s
coach.
GO LCAT!
