Important Practice and Weather Protocol: (PLEASE READ)

• Coaches will make their best effort to communicate cancellations 30 minutes prior to the start of practice, but please be mindful that weather systems can be sudden, especially at this time of year. Practices will only be cancelled in the case of thunderstorms or rain so hard the bottom of the pool is not visible. All weather updates will be communicated through Remind, so please make sure you have that set-up. Join Remind here: remind.com/join/a89dgc
• Please ensure we give coaches the space they need to coach. The picnic tables behind the ends of the pools are reserved for coaches and mentor coaches. This ensures our swimmers can focus on the coaches during practice. Please wait until practice is over to talk to your swimmer if they are in the water. This gives the coaches the ability to manage the practice and keep all swimmers safe in the water.

• This season will look a little different as we do not have lifeguards in the stands. We are responsible for making sure the pool is clean and free of swim gear before we leave every night. Please remind your swimmers to make sure they have everything (towel, swim cap, goggles, water bottle, bag) before they leave the pool side and pool gates. Please make sure you throw away all trash before you leave. Thank you for helping us keep our pool clean!
• The coaches welcome questions about meet entries, meet procedures, etc. Please make sure you ask them in a timely manner if you have questions about the upcoming swim meet. They can only make changes up until a certain day before the Saturday meet, so e-mailing them at [email protected] is the best way to get these types of questions or concerns answered and addressed.
