Team Information

Requirements for Participation for the 2022-23 School Year:

Please review the Parent letter and updated Medical History/Physical forms. As the letter indicates, the LHHS Athletic Trainers will be performing physicals on two separate dates:

Current 6th-8th grade students can attend our mass physicals held at Liberty Hill Middle School on Monday, May 16th from 5-8 p.m.
Current 9th-11th grade students can attend our mass physicals held at Liberty Hill High School on Tuesday, May 17th from 5-8 p.m.
Or you may also get a physical by your own physician.

New procedures to expedite the process on the night of physicals. Student-athletes (middle school and high school) can come to the high school fieldhouse before or after school any day of the week to have their height, weight, pulse, blood pressure, and vision taken by an athletic trainer so that, on the night of physicals, the only task remaining will be the physician evaluation.

Student-athletes must have the following:

1) Their payment with them ($15 cash or check made out to "Liberty Hill Athletic Training")

2) The attached form with the left side ("medical history" and student and parent signature at the bottom) COMPLETELY filled out. These initial steps can not be performed without the medical history completed, the parent and student signature, AND the money.

I'd like to encourage all of our returning student-athletes to take advantage of this opportunity so that we can keep physicals night as efficient and brief as possible.

If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to the Athletic Training Dept. at lhathletictraining@libertyhill.txed.net or 512-260-5540

LHHS Varsity Swim Team Expectations:

LHHS Varsity Swim Team Behavior/Respect

Swimmers MUST be able to prove they are practicing outside of school with a club swim team for example; Nitro, Waterloo, Texas Gold, Lone Star or on your own (discuss with Coach Becker.)
You MUST be a competitive swimmer and have all four strokes (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly) legal.
Swimmers MUST give 100% in the pool and in the classroom
Swimmers MUST maintain passing grades in all classes.
Swimmers MUST participate in 100% of all scheduled swim meets.
Swimmers MUST treat teammates, coaches, officials, volunteers, and other swimmers with respect at all times.
Swimmers MUST seek out the coach after each race for feedback and reflection.
Swimmers MUST behave as ladies and gentlemen at all times, but especially on school trips when they are acting as representatives of Liberty Hill ISD. Athletes are a reflection of the school district, those who coach them, and their families.
Swimmers MUST realize their responsibility as an athlete at LHHS. They represent the school and the community - we want them to make good responsible decisions.
Swimmers dress and behavior will meet the expected standards of the school district.
There shall be no gambling. This can only lead to hard feelings and detract from the team unity.
School policy provides for suspension from school and the team for drinking while on school trips or while involved in school activities.
Team morale and unity is vitally important.

LHHS Varsity Swim Team Sportsmanship:

Swimmers are asked to stay in the pool until all swimmers have completed the race. The exception to this would be if an official asks you to vacate the pool.
Swimmers should practice good sportsmanship at all times. Shake the hands of the swimmers in neighboring lanes after a race. Congratulate other swimmers and teams.
Swimmers should never throw swim goggles or a swim cap either in victory or defeat after a race.
Swimmers need to be mindful of slapping the water either in victory or defeat after a race.
Swimmers are encouraged to thank the meet volunteers (timers and officials).
Swimmers should always take pride in themselves, the athletic department, and LHHS.

LHHS Varsity Swim Policy on Sharpies:

No sharpie writing/ drawing will be allowed on the face, front of the torso, legs, arms or backs of LHHS Swimmers at meets with the exception of writing the swimmer’s events. Swimmers who violate this policy will be removed from competition and asked to remove said writing/drawing before returning.

LHHS Varsity Swim Team Gear:

LHHS provides each swimmer with an embroidered swim parka, backpack, a warm-up jacket, and a Liberty Hill Swim Team Cap. Please use this gear when participating in high school swim meets only. These items are part of the team uniform and are not to be worn otherwise. Swimmers MUST wear LHHS Swim Team Caps when swimming in meets representing LHHS. It is against UIL rules for high school swimmers to wear non-school logos during high school swim meets.

Swimmers are required to provide their own goggles. It’s a good idea to have a backup pair in case they break, get lost, or are stolen.

Different faces need different goggles. Be sure and try on goggles for comfort before buying them.

Recommended Goggles:

Speedo Vanquisher, Vanquisher 2.0, or Vanquisher Jr. (MOST recommended)
Speedo Speed Socket
Speedo Air Seal XR
TYR Velocity
Nike Remora

A goggle bungee strap is highly recommended but not required.

Suit a plain black competition-appropriate swimsuit (Girls must be a one-piece. Boys must wear a jammer or Speedo style racing suit. Baggy shorts or cut-offs are not permitted.)
Team suits will also be available for purchase through or LHHS Swim Team Booster Club.

LHHS Varsity Swim Team Practices:

LHHS Varsity Swimmers will meet during 9th Period Athletics in the 2022-23 school season. Please make sure your schedule reflects this.
LHHS Varsity Swimmers do need to be practicing outside of school with a club swim team or swimming on their own due to our limited pool access as a team. Please see Coach Becker if you need practice sets

LHHS Varsity Swim Team Travel Logistics:

Two weeks prior to each swim meet swimmers MUST verify with Coach Becker that they will be attending the meet and which events they would like to swim via the Google Forms sent.

Parents and swimmers will be emailed a meet confirmation.
All team members will ride to and from athletic contests via transportation provided by the school district. Only team members, coaches, and student assistants will be permitted to ride team buses. Students may return home with their parents from athletic contests with written permission and must be signed out with Coach Becker. Prior to leaving the team will meet at the front of LHHS at the time provided by Coach Becker. Swimmers must be on time!
Swimmers are expected to stay for the duration of the meet in order to support and cheer on their team/teammates unless notified earlier.

Swimmers will be taken back to LHHS once the meet is over.
