Non- Swimming Achievements and Accomplishments:

 

            LVSC’s goal is to create healthy, well- rounded, creative, and positive swimmers who excel not only in the water but in the community as well.  In each newsletter, we hope to highlight swimmers who have been recognized for their achievements outside of the pool.  If your swimmer has an accomplishment you would like highlighted, please email [email protected].

Examples: academic honor roll, scholarships, citizen or community involvement awards, other athletic or sport awards/ medals/ recognitions.
