We are looking forward to another great season! Practice begins on Monday, October 6th. We recently received news that the Longmeadow High School pool is still out of commission for the beginning of our season. We have secured pool space again at Kiley Middle School, 180 Cooley Street, Springfield. We know this is not optimal, but unfortunately our pool is very old, and it needs to be fixed the right way so we have it for years to come.
New swimmers must be in at least 1st grade and able to swim 25 yards unassisted. We will be evaluating all new swimmers the first few nights to ensure they can safely participate in practice. We will be conducting stroke specific clinics for the initial weeks of practice to give everyone a solid foundation upon which to build skill and strength.
All swimmers are expected to participate in 2 swim meets. Home meets will be held in the second half of the season, once we are back in our own pool, so the earlier meets will be away and usually held on Saturday mornings. Practice will be offered 4 days per week and we understand that many athletes compete in multiple sports and have other activities. Swimmers will benefit most from at least 2 days of practice per week.
High School swimmers are welcome to join us for pre-season. Please use the link above to register and pay the $50 registration fee.
We appreciate your flexibility in advance, as we know having to leave town to practice is not easy for anyone, but we feel very strongly about keeping the team together and keeping your swimmers in the pool. See all of you in the pool!
