What Happens At Practice?
Practices:
Swimmers should attend at least 3 practices per week (between Thursday to Wednesday); choose your times from the schedule provided.
Parents and Siblings:
Parents of 7 and under must stay on site for the duration of practice. Other parents are encouraged to stay and visit or drop off as needed. The splash park is NOT open during practice for siblings, per pool management.
At practice:
Kids will split up into lanes by age range: 45 min. in the pool, and 15 min. of exercises on deck.
Swimmer Information box:
There’s a traveling file box at practice that has file folders for each swimmer. Check this box weekly to receive or give info to the coach. Ribbons will be in this box as well on Thursday mornings following the meets.
RSVP For Meets in Advance
There will be online sign up at the beginning of the year. YOU MUST Let the coaches know which events you will have to miss – so they don’t schedule your swimmer in a relay and mess up their relay team!
Posting of Meet Events:
Each Wednesday morning, the coaches post a listing of every swimmer and their races for the night. Check in the morning to let your child focus on the events, or just find out when you show up at night to your event.
Questions:
- Technique or stroke questions - go to the coaches.
- Logistics or meet questions - go to a Swim board member (ie, another parent).
