This season, female and male swim team members are looking forward to welcoming new student athletes to our team in August. Any student entering 7th grade or above may be eligible to practice and compete with the varsity team if all LHSAA requirements are met. Swim practice will begin on Monday, August 17, 2020 at Terrytown Country Club. While school is not in session, practices will begin at 9:00 am. Once school is in session, practices will begin at 3:55 pm. Practices during week one will be Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. During week two, practices will be held on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Once the school’s academic and athletic schedules are confirmed, a regular practice and swim meet schedule will be available. With the new protocol in place, we are limited to a maximum of three swimmers per lane. Swimmers must provide their own transportation to and from practice and swim meets. In order to tryout and practice, a completed athletic physical must be submitted to Coach Casseri or the Athletic Director, Emily Cormier. The LHSAA Medical History Evaluation is available to print on the Athletics Page.
As Louisiana is under Phase II of the reopening plan, practice will be limited to 60 minutes. Once we are under Phase II, practice time will increase to 90 minutes. Masks must be worn until entry into the water and upon exiting the water. Bathrooms will be off limits (unless there is an emergency). Students should bring their own water bottles.
No one other than swimmers, officials, and coaches are presently allowed at swim meets. Meets will have new rules depending on the facility where they are being held. State Meet dates are being finalized.
For more information, please contact Coach Casseri by email at lajazz1@att.net or Ms. Kara Martin, the school nurse at Thomas Jefferson Academy. Since the Swim Team is not funded by Jefferson Parish Schools, there is a $140 fee required to swim and participate on the team. This payment will be available soon on School Cash Online.

Family ID
The Thomas Jefferson Athletic Department requires an online registration process for all athletes. This online registration eliminates many forms that are required for athletic participation.
This year, the district is requiring all athletes and parents to complete a COVID-19 Waiver. This waiver is included on FamilyID.
FamilyID must be completed BEFORE a student can participate in any tryouts, conditioning or practices for any sport.
The website is www.familyid.com
In addition to the online registration, all athletes must have an up to date physical turned in to the athletic office and also pay a yearly, non refundable $25 Athletic Fee. This fee can be paid by cash or check to Coach Cormier (Athletic Director) or on the new JP School Cash Online system.
