Full Practice Schedule:

Group 1: 4:00pm – 4:40pm M-Th (IM Times greater than 2:30, and all new 9Un swimmers)

Group 3: 5:45pm – 7:00pm M –Th (IM Times lower than 1:57, and all 13&Up swimmers)

The first week of practice should be relaxed for all swimmers as we ease back into practice and build our routines. Any concerns about appropriate level of challenge for each swimmer should be brought to the attention of the coaches, via email when possible.

2-Day per week swimmers should select two days and keep to those two days when possible (i.e. TuTh only). Any swimmers displaced by Labor Day practice cancellation on 9/5 can select another day that week. Life gets hectic in the fall, we understand; if you need to change up the days one week this season, just email coach Sean at [email protected] and consider it pre-approved. Thanks!
