  • CANBY ENTRIES- 1.21.24

Practice Changes (1.22-2.2)

Our pools will undergo routine maintenance beginning tonight, 1.21.  This week the swim lesson pool, where our developmental team swims will be closed for maintenance.  The following week, 1.28, the indoor lap pool will be closed for maintenance but the swim lesson pool will reopen.  Fortunately, we do not need to make changes to the times listed on our practice schedule.

Developmental Team

  • Developmental 1 and 2 practice in the indoor lap pool for the week of 1.21 and the lessons pool during the week of 1.28.  Developmental swimmers will practice in one lane for the following two weeks. 

USA Team

  • USA Swimmers will practice in the outdoor lap pool for the next two weeks.  The water is a warm 82 degrees and fortunately the air temperatures are forecasted to be in the low 50’s.  Swimming outside in the winter is not uncommon, and several USA teams in the area practice outside year-round. 
    • Swimmers should dress warmly and make sure they come to practice with footwear and warmer layers to travel in between the indoor and outdoor pool decks.
    • We ask that all swimmers meet the coaches on the indoor pool deck at 5:10 and we will walk outside together.  If you are 12&U and show up late, a parent needs to walk the swimmer out to the outdoor pool deck. 
    • Swimmers should make sure that they bring a kickboard, and fins outside for each practice.  Swimmers should return this equipment to the indoor storage bins at the conclusion of each practice. 

That’s it for now.  Please reach out with questions.

See you at the pool. 

Coach Danny
