Welcome to Loch Lloyd Lightning Swim & Dive!
We're thrilled for the upcoming swim season! This website is your go-to resource for team details, registration, and event schedules.
About the Program
Loch Lloyd Lightning is a summer swim and dive team running from late May through mid-July. Our team includes:
- Lightning Competitive Swim Team: For swimmers ages 5-18 (as of June 1).
- Jr. Swim Team: For competent swimmers ages 4 and up. Evaluations on the first day of practice ensure the best team placement.
- Lightning Dive Club: Open to ages 4-18. While club divers won't compete this year, they'll showcase their skills in special expo events. It is NOT required to be a registered swimmer to join the Dive Club!
What to Expect
Swimmers develop strength, endurance, and technique, while divers refine flexibility and execution. Above all, we foster sportsmanship, teamwork, and a fun, supportive environment.
Club Membership & Swim Team Registration
Swim and dive participants are NOT required to be Loch Lloyd Country Club members, but members receive priority registration and full Club access. Learn more about Team Registration & Fees.
Parent Involvement
As a volunteer-run program, we rely on parents to keep things running smoothly. ALL parents of competitive swimmers are required to volunteer. Check the Volunteer Requirements & Roles section for details.
