Practices
We will have practice every weekday morning (Monday – Friday) that we do not have a meet. Times are:
6:45 - 7:00 am - Optional Dry Land
7:00 - 8:00 am - (60min) 11 and up
8:00 - 8:45 am - (45min) 9 and 10
8:45 - 9:15 am - (30min) 8 & Under
Please make a strong effort to participate in your assigned time slot. Note that the coaches will move kids up and down lanes throughout the season to help the kids get the most out of the program.
We expect swimmers to arrive on time and ready for practice. Girls must wear a cap unless their hair is short. It is too hard to swim even with a ponytail, as it gets in their face and affects their breathing. Swimmers will receive team Penguin caps at the beginning of the season. Goggles are also required. Please be sure to get your child some goggles that fit and do not leak. It would be helpful to try them out prior to practice. They get very frustrated if they have to fix their goggles during the whole practice. Also, be sure to bring a towel, warm clothes, and a water bottle to practice.
It is not required that they come every day to practice, but they will see the greatest improvement if they can make them all. We will encourage them to come as much as possible, our season is short, and we want to see them all have fun while dropping lots of time in their events!
