  In this study, we present the preliminary light curve analysis of the contact
binary SW Lac, using B, V light curves of the system spanning 2 years (2009 -
2010). During the spot modeling process, we used the information coming from
the Doppler maps of the system, which was performed using the high resolution
and phase dependent spectra obtained at the 2.1 m Otto Struve Telescope of the
McDonald Observatory, in 2009. The results showed that the spot modeling from
the light curve analysis are in accordance with the Doppler maps, while the
non-circular spot modeling technique is needed in order to obtain much better
and reliable spot models.
