Lightning swimmers are required to bring swim fins, hand paddles, pull buoys and a kickboard to practice sessions. Competition style swim suit / jammer, goggles, swim cap (for girls), and a water bottle are also recommended. If you need to order a swim suit or equipment please contact Total Team Wares directly. Let them know that your swimmer is on the Lakewood Ranch Lightning Swim Team.

They will handle swim suit returns shipped directly to them from the swimmer. A
note should be included as to the needed size. As a reminder, please do
not wear the suit and expect to return it.
Inclement Weather Policies:
Summer/Fall:
Summer brings with it afternoon thunderstorms. As long as there is not lightning in the immediate area, practices will be held as scheduled. Should a storm with lightning appear while practice is in session all swimmers will be removed from the pool until the storm passes or practice is canceled. Please remember that storms in Florida can be spotty and even if it's storming at home or school, it does not mean that it is storming near the pool. If you are uncertain about the status of practice please call the Swim Hotline 941.524.6136.
Winter:
When winter is here, so is our cold weather. If the temperature is 55 degrees or below for 10 and under or 45 degrees or below for 11 and older practice is optional. Practice will never be cancelled because of cold weather in the afternoon. If the temperature in the morning is 45 degrees or below there will be no morning practice for senior and gold. Please use Weather Channel (weather.com) as your guide.
