Attendance

We ask that swimmers make as many practices as possible. We strongly encourage swimmers to attend every day if they wish to truly improve throughout the season. The more they come to practice, the more they will learn, and have time to work on their strokes. If swimmers cannot make it to practice every day, that’s okay. You do not need to let the coaches know if they are going to miss practice.

Communication with Coaches

Please refrain from discussions with the coaching staff before, after, or during practice. It is imperative that the coaches are able to keep their eyes on the swimmers in the pool at all times in order to ensure a safe and productive practice for all swimmers. If you need to talk to a coach, please send an email.

Equipment

Swimmers are to come to the pool ready to swim. Changing at the pool will not be permitted. Bathrooms will only be available for emergency use. There will be no shared equipment, including kickboards, during practices and meets.

Lost & Found Items

If you leave an item at practice, please check the tan storage bin adjacent to the baby pool fence. Any items left at practice are placed in the bin.

Practice Cancelations

If the weather is questionable, and you wonder if there will be swim practice or a meet, please check the team website. We will have practice if there is a light rain. If there is thunder or lightning, practice will be cancelled. We will update the site and make the decision as early as possible to let everyone know.

Please make sure practice is being held before leaving children at the pool!
