    Monday – Friday10:00 AM – 11:00 AM – 11 & over practice

    11:00 AM – 12:00 PM – 10 & under practice

    Depending on the size of the group and the swimmers’ ability, some swimmers may swim for 30 minutes at the 10 & under practice. This will be determined on site by the coaches.

    FridayTime trials will be held at practice during the regular practice time. Volunteers to time are welcome (6 parents for the 2nd hour)

    Parent meeting at 11 AM. Swimmers will be stretching and warming up while the parents meet. I will be available to review expectations for the season and to answer questions at with parents as needed.

    The coaches will be running time trials during swim practice. We will use the starting system (beep) that is used at meets.

    In terms of diving, I am sure we will see swimmers go off the blocks, go off the side of the pool, and some start in the water. At this point in the summer, swimmers should do what is best for them. Practice makes the swimmers prepared for races next week! The swimmers are like beginning readers, that will make improvements and strides at their own pace.

    The swimmers get in and out of the water several times, so an extra towel may be needed Friday for the little ones! Sweatshirts and pants are also good things to have on hand.

    • Remember that the link to order team t-shirt, hoodies, and flannel pants is also open. Orders are due by Tuesday, June 6th. You will be asked to pay for the apparel when ordering. Clink on the link:

    • At home, please download the app SwimTopia. This is useful for quickly communicating a change; this usually is needed because of weather conditions (dangerous storms or chilly weather) when a meet is halted.
    • Swim caps can be picked up at practice. 1 cap per swimmer. The swim cap is not required, but no other swim team cap (like ANSC) is permitted at meets or else the swimmer is DQ (disqualified)
    • Parents who volunteer to time for Time trials on Friday will earn credit towards their volunteering requirement. The swim team board asks that all families volunteer three (3) times during the season. If families do not volunteer, they will be asked to pay a $50 fee. The requirement can be fulfilled by running the team party (limited to 2-3 people / position)
    • I will be happy to collect and redistribute suits or apparel that your children have outgrown. Please bring down to the pool on Friday, June 9th or to the first meet on June 13th. I will place a container by the lifeguard table for collection. And on June 13th I will put out whatever is collected to be given away.
