Which days should swimmers attend? Any day you can and as often as you can. We understand each family has a different schedule, so we try to accommodate that. Some families attend 2-3 days per week, other families never miss a practice; some families mix it up by week. Obviously, the more often you attend the quicker swimmers improve. It's a relatively short season with many skills to learn, so please attend as often as you can.
In the event of rain & chilly temperatures, we still practice outdoors. The coaches' judgement will preside, but don't worry, we're not crazy. If it's too cold we will do dry land (limited swimming), if it is chilly and raining, we may have swimming videos and goal setting sessions prepared under the pool pavilion. If it's warm and raining, we're still in the pool (only the coaches suffer then).
We only cancel for thunder and lightning, and then only if it is on-going throughout the practice.
Look at this website, Swimtopia Mobile App Alerts, and email for updates; we often get part of the practice in.
ALWAYS show up for meets though, we rarely cancel, and most often just wait for the storm to pass.
We will play Sharks & Minnows and Water Polo during the season, usually on Fridays, but not all of them.
