Congratulations to all the swimmers! Now you can start planning<br />
for the <strong>LRC</strong> Pennant Gala to be held on 2 October 2010.<br />
I want to take the time to explain and clear up some confusion on<br />
the cancellation policy for learn to swim lessons and the summer<br />
session. If you are cancelling your swim class for summer (July<br />
and August) but have signed up to start swimming the first week of<br />
Sarah Hsu, swim team captain<br />
September then your spot will be there for you. The LTS coaching<br />
staff will contact you over the summer to let you know if your<br />
child has advanced to a new level and the time options available<br />
for the new class. Please make sure that you have confirmed with<br />
Jonathon or Polly that your child will return to swimming the first<br />
week of September at the start of the new fall session. The LTS<br />
coaching staff apologizes that they cannot hold a LTS spot past<br />
the first week of September.<br />
Over the past five years there have been a number of changes to the<br />
<strong>LRC</strong> swim program. The largest has been the creation of an inhouse<br />
swim program, which will soon complete its second year<br />
of operation.<br />
The <strong>LRC</strong> now has four full-time and five part-time swim coaches<br />
and instructors, lead by Head Coach John Dempsey.<br />
John Dempsey brought with him to the <strong>LRC</strong> over 30 years of<br />
experience in the “Learn to Swim” and Squad coaching industry.<br />
John has acted as Head Coach for National Swim teams including<br />
the Australian squad at the Deaf Olympic Games in Rome, 2001.<br />
In 2001 he was awarded Australian Coach of the Year for swimmers<br />
with a disability. From 2004 until 2007 prior to joining us at the<br />
<strong>LRC</strong>, John worked as the Coaching Director for the Singapore<br />
Swimming Association at the Centre of Excellence in Singapore<br />
leading the training programs for the National Team.<br />
Herbert Yu Hang Chi attained his Bachelor of Applied Science<br />
specializing in Coaching Science from University of Canberra,<br />
Australia in 2004. From 2005-07, Herbert was the Youth Team<br />
Coach for the Singapore Swimming Association at the Centre of<br />
Excellence in Singapore. In 2007-08, he was appointed as the Head<br />
Coach for the Indonesian National Swimming Team at the Beijing<br />
Olympic Games. 13 years of coaching in Hong Kong and other<br />
countries give him a wealth of experience. In addition, Herbert<br />
is a qualified Strength and Conditioning Coach and Sport Trainer.<br />
