2026 Practice Schedule
Weekly Practice Format
During pre-season practices, the coaches will access each individual swimmer’s swim level based on their ability to swim Freestyle, Backstroke, Breastroke, Butterfly. For swimmers that do not know how to swim all four competitve strokes, do not worry, it will be introduced to them during practices. Swimmers are placed into groups based on their age by June 1st. However, practice groups are not restricted by age, but by similar swim ability in the four competitive strokes and swim seed times. This is determined by the Head Coaches to place the swimmer in the group color that gives the swimmer the most appropriate swim practice for their ability and needs. Any swimmer may be asked to change practice group if the coaches feel it would benefit that individual swimmer. The coaches will confirm the practice assignments for each individual swimmer or group.
Regular practices are based on your group color practice times. There will be a 15-minute dry land training for the Orange, Red and Black groups only. Dry land will focus on improving core strength, flexibility and coordination. Please come prepared for dry land exercises as well as to swim. Proper athletic attire is required: close toed shoes, shorts and T-shirts. Water bottles are necessary at all practices to keep swimmers hydrated. On Wednesday practices children will receive their swim event and heats, relays participation, and arrival times.
**The kiddie pool is closed during all swim practices schedules and will not be accessible to siblings**
