We hope you are settled back into the school routine. It was so nice seeing familiar and new faces at our first meeting last week! We are looking forward to a full season of Swimming and Diving, beginning on Monday, February 2, and continuing through the end of April for most athletes.

Please find below some important pre-season information. If you will not be participating in our program this year, please let Coach Peters know so that she can remove you from the email list.

Parent/Guardian Meeting – Monday, January 26 – 6:00 PM

Spring Sports Parent Information Night will begin at 6:00 PM in the LGHS Gym. Following the all-sports overview by Athletic Director Ken Perrotti, we will meet in Coach Peters’ classroom (Room 307) to discuss the specifics of the swimming and diving season. This meeting is mandatory for parents who are new to our program. Parent representatives of returning athletes are encouraged to attend.

Mandatory Student Athlete Information Meeting – Tuesday, January 27 – 2:30 PM

We will hold a mandatory meeting for students on Tuesday, January 27, at 2:30 PM in the Community Room. All interested athletes must attend this meeting. If you are unable to attend, you must see Coach Peters in person in her classroom (Room 307).

Athletic Clearance

If you know you will be participating this year, please make sure you complete the athletic clearance process (which includes a physical dated July 1, 2025, or later). If you have already completed the process because you were cleared for another sport at LGHS this school year, you must add swimming/diving as an additional sport.

The athletic clearance list for swimmers and divers as of Sunday, January 11 can be found below:

Athletic Clearance as of 1/12/2026

If you are not on this list, you have not begun the clearance process or have not listed Swimming and Diving as an additional sport. As a reminder, a heart screening must be completed for all athletes in grades 9 and 11. Athletes in grades 10 or 12 who have not previously had a heart screening must also obtain one.

There will be a screening at Los Gatos on January 24. If that date does not work, you can visit https://www.kylejtaylor.org/screenings to find other local screenings. You may also obtain an EKG through your primary care physician and submit the appropriate documentation.

Please complete the full athletic clearance process as soon as possible. No one is allowed to participate with the team on Monday, February 2, until they have full athletic clearance.
