While our practices are not mandatory, we ask that you try to have your swimmer attend at least 3 instructional practices a week. We do encourage of course full participation in daily practice. In addition, this provides the coaches ample time to get to know your swimmer's proficiency to better schedule individual events and relays in the meets.

We also understand that it is summer and that kids have camps, VBS, etc...and that many working parents have a complicated juggle. We will try our best to accommodate practice group changes, but it is a challenge and not preferred/encouraged. It is always best to have your swimmer train with his/her age group. If you are interested in having your child swim with another age group please ask the coordinators for permission.

Our swimmers often do "Dry Land" (out of water conditioning and exercises). Please send your child with an extra towel so they don't have to exercise in the grass.

If your swimmer leaves something at practice (usually goggles) you can look in the lost and found. Please label EVERYTHING. Items to bring include:

• Swimsuit - Any type for practice. One piece is better for girls.
• Googles
• Swim cap for long hair
• 1-2 Towels
• Sweatshirt/sweatpants
• Water to drink
• Sunscreen for later morning practices

Siblings are NOT allowed to swim in the large pool or baby pool during practice, Fun Days or swim meets. The baby pool is closed during Swim Team. 

Parents are encouraged to drop off. Our adult coordinators are on deck to supervise and handle emergencies. Please pick up promptly.
