Colman Pre-Season Practice Schedule Changes (May 27th - June 23rd)
Starting on May 27th, the Senior Group will be practicing at Colman Pool in West Seattle on Tuesdays (4-6pm) and Fridays (6-8pm).
 
To take advantage of the available lane space at WEST (and to accommodate our coaching constraints) Accelerate and Senior 2 will practice together at WEST from 3:30-6:30pm on Tuesdays and Fridays. This change is only in effect from May 27th until June 23rd, when we go to the normal Summer Schedule. If you cannot make this time, please let us know as soon as possible, so we can accommodate your individual situation.

Please make sure you register immediately if you want to take advantage of the Colman Bus providing transportation to-and-from WEST in Mill Creek and Colman Pool in West Seattle.
