The bubble is up at the LC Pool, however wiring/electrical issues must be resolved before we can begin practice. We plan to begin our practice schedule on Monday October 3. There will be a parents meeting after the first practice at 5:30pm. Practices will be Monday-Thursday 4:00-5:30pm. Swimmers should arrive at the pool after school and dress for practice to be ready at 4:00pm to utilize all available pool time.

North Middle School Bus Update: 
With the help of Mike Sims at Lenoir City Schools as well as the North Panthers football team head coach, Chris Wampler, there is a better alternative to get our NMS swimmers to the pool in time for practice.

We previously had secured a bus service at $40 per day. At four practices a week for 15 weeks, that is a cost of $2400.00 While it is important to get these few NMS swimmers to the pool, the team does not have the funds to finance this.

Here's the new plan: our swimmers will still board a bus at the rear of NMS (there will be 4 buses back there- they board the last one in line- bus #A-10 with the North Panthers team. Our swimmers need to sit in the seats right behind the driver. This bus arrives at LCMS by 3:15.

The North Panthers season ends Oct. 21, so our swimmers will only have this bus available the week of Oct. 3-7 and the week following Fall Break Oct. 17-21. After this we need to find some NMS parents who are already driving to the pool and are willing to carpool. There are only a few bus riders and we need to get them to practice after the bus service ends.
