Team Management & Operation
The Lakeway Lakers swim team is operated by Lakeway Swim Team, Inc., a Texas nonprofit corporation, which is governed by a Board of Directors responsible for making and implementing all decisions, rules and responsibilities involved in operating the team for the benefit of the swimmers, their families and the community.
The Board is responsible for all business aspects of the team's existence and operation, including handling the team's league responsibilities, contracting with the City of Lakeway for use of the swim center, obtaining necessary insurance coverages, scheduling practices and meets, hiring and supervising coaches, obtaining and maintaining team equipment, bulk purchases of team gear for resale to swimmers and team supporters, operating the team website, collection and accounting for registration fees and other income sources, payment of team expenses (rent, league dues, insurance premiums, coaches salaries, equipment purchases and maintenance, uniform and gear purchases), and satisfying all reporting and filings requirements imposed by governmental bodies (City of Lakeway, Texas State Comptroller, U.S. Internal Revenue Service, etc.).
The Board's policy is that inquiries, discussions, complaints, and suggestions about all of the above matters relating to the operation and management of the Lakeway Lakers swim team should be directed to the Board (by email or other means of written communication) for its review, consideration, and response, because asking individual board members to deal with business matters relating to the team's management and operation by confrontation at the times and places designated as the team's practices and league meets would be inefficient, distracting, and discourteous to the swimmers and families participating in those activities.
Any parents, swimmers, or family members violating this Board policy will be warned, and a continued refusal to comply with this Board policy will constitute grounds for termination of team membership for that family's registered swimmer(s).
