Practice Schedule

Monday- Thursday:

• 6:00 - 6:45 pm (10 & under)​
• 6:45 - 7:30 (11 & older) 

We're looking forward to getting started on the 2023-2024 swim season!  Registration is open and practices will begin on October 10th.  Many athletes play fall sports, so we understand if you are trying to balance mutliple committments.  We will begin the season with stroke specific clinics, exact dates to come soon.  Meets will be held Friday nights or Saturday mornings beginning in November.

For our new swimmers, it is a safety requirement that they can swim the length of the pool unassisted.    We will have evaluations the first few nights to ensure they can successfully swim 25 yards - the strokes do not need to be perfect, but the swimmer needs to be strong enough to navigate the length of the pool.
