Practice Information

Common Swimming Terms

The goals of practices are multifaceted. Practices are vital to improve the swimmer’s technique, endurance, and speed. Practices should also be fun, a time to come together with peers, and grow as a team. To achieve these goals, swimmers must respect their coaches and each other. Swimmers are also expected to follow the rules of the community pool in order to ensure everyone’s safety.

Swimmers will be expected to come to practice prepared. Swimmers will be required to use goggles. Swimmers with long hair are encouraged to wear swim caps.

Practices will be held unless there is thunder or lightening, it is raining too hard to be able to see the bottom of the pool, or the pool is closed due to a chemical imbalance issue. All attempts will be made to notify families of any cancellations. This will be done via e-mail, posted signs on the front door to the pool building, or messages on the pool answering machine. We appreciate your understanding if you make a trip to the pool and practice has been cancelled.
