People need to help meets run smoothly

 Our clubs and workout groups are doing a great job finding venues for meets and providing enthusiastic meet directors.  We are looking for a few more people who can do some key jobs to make the meets great experiences.  We are looking for more people willing to be the announcer, help with check-in, operate the timing system, or run the meet management software.  If you are interested & willing, please send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots.

Help us update our website

It has been a few years since we looked at our website design and the collective wisdom is that we can do better.  We are looking for volunteers for two roles:

  1. People to give us feedback on our work - thoughts on the current website, other LMSC websites that they think are good, and feedback on a redesigned website.
  2. People who can help with the website redesign
