Inclement Weather

Unless there is thunder or lightning, the team will meet at the Pavilion at the scheduled time for swim meets and practices.

In cases of cold weather, please have your swimmers wear their bathing suits, but also dress in sweats and tennis shoes. Even if we don’t get in the pool, we will continue our normal instruction sessions, including topics on safety, land training and stroke techniques.

Practice Expectations

Team Members

1. Swimmer should be at the pool five minutes before the scheduled time. Upon arrival, the swimmer should remove their street clothes, put on their swim caps and googles, and begin stretching. Please gather as a group, so that we can start practice promptly.
2. Swimmers who arrive early, may gather in the pool area. However, you must not interrupt the current group practice, so keep the noise to a minimum.
3. For safety reasons, no one is allowed on the lifeguard chairs at any time! While you may choose to sit in the lounge chairs, please do not rearrange the chairs. Please remember that safety is always our first concern.

Visitors

We welcome visitors to our practices sessions. We ask that you observe some simple rules. Visitors are asked to remain on the pool deck or in the pavilion area. Keep noise to a minimum. If another group has reserved the pavilion, please enter our practices from outside the fences near the rear of the parking lot.
