“I don’t want to join because it looks like too much work.”

Starting a new sport can feel intimidating, especially when you know it will challenge you. But you do not join a team because you already have everything figured out. You join because you want to become stronger, more disciplined, more confident, and more capable than you were before.

Yes, swimming takes effort. You will get tired. You will make mistakes, and sometimes you will fail. That is not something to fear. Failure teaches you more than easy success ever could. You learn, adjust, get back in the water, and become better because of it.

On this team, there is no “try.” You either show up and do the work, or you do not. But everyone’s 100% looks different. We are not comparing you to the swimmer beside you. We are comparing you to the person you were yesterday. You are your biggest competition.

You do not have to be the fastest swimmer or already know every stroke. You simply have to be willing to learn, work, fail, grow, and keep going.

You will make friends, become part of a team, discover what you are capable of, and experience the pride that comes from accomplishing something you once believed was too difficult.

Do not let the fear of hard work keep you from an experience that could make you stronger and become one of the best parts of high school.

LPHS Swim & Dive would love to welcome more swimmers this season. Show up. Do the work. Become better than you were yesterday. 💚🐉

We’re building more than swimmers. We’re helping build strong, determined, and dependable young adults. 🐉💚

At LPHS Swim & Dive, our purpose goes far beyond teaching competitive swimming. We teach personal accountability, responsibility, teamwork, and what it means to follow through on a commitment, even when the work is difficult.

Swimming teaches delayed gratification in a way few sports can. Athletes practice the same movements thousands of times, make small corrections, and keep working without immediate results. Over time, they learn that real improvement requires patience, discipline, and consistency.

We give every athlete opportunities to step outside their comfort zone, face their nerves, and discover that they are capable of more than they believed. We challenge them, but we also support them through the anxiety that naturally comes with trying something new and pushing themselves to grow.

This is not a bench sport.
Every athlete swims. Every athlete participates. Every athlete contributes to the success of our team. Whether they arrive as an experienced competitor or someone still learning the basics, they have an important place in our program.

Of course, we want our athletes to become stronger swimmers, but our greatest goal is for them to leave us as confident, resilient, and responsible young adults.

That is what LPHS Swim & Dive is all about.
Interested in joining or learning more? Send us a direct message or email [email protected], and we’ll help you get started!

Come be part of something bigger. Join the Green Dragons! 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️

Thinking about joining LPHS Swim & Dive?
There are no tryouts. If you show up, put in the work, and commit to the program, you are part of the team.

You do not have to be an experienced swimmer — you just have to be willing to learn, step outside your comfort zone, and push yourself.

This is a varsity-level team, and commitment matters.

Afternoon practice is every day.
One morning practice is required each week.
Meets, practices and team events are mandatory.

We can teach you how to swim. You bring the effort.

Be coachable. Be committed. Be ready to work.

Go Dragons! 🐉💚
