Summer Break-No Practice from August 21st-September 4th

SOL Swim will take a 2 week break between our seasons to not only give our swimmers a much needed time to relax but to also allow the staff to regroup and give them some time off as well. The break will take place starting on August 21st and return September 5th. Due to the break, families will only be charged for half of the month. 

For those that are newer to the sport, August is typically when teams around the country take a break in preparation for the new training year and season. Unlike a lot of sports that have seasons, swimming is considered year round. We break up our year into short course (25 yds) and long course (50m). Short course is what you see your swimmers practicing now. Long course is the long length wise of the big pools and is also the length in the Olympics. While some of our beginner swimmers do not see a difference as of now, as they get faster and with more experience, the lengths will change during competition. Each Course has it's different challenges when it comes to training which also makes it more dynamic and fun. Due to the year round competition, August is typically served as a the break month betwen the courses in the sport as a whole. Short course season runs from September to March and Long Course goes from March to the end of July. 

There is nothing you need to do as a family. We do not close out any accounts and there is no having to re-register your swimmer again. We will just continue back in September! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask myself or your coaches. Great job this year SOL
