2024 Summer Practice Schedule
We are still waiting to hear back from the Burke Centre Conservancy for confirmation on practice times and locations. We know that many families are beginning to schedule camps and other activities for summer break. Below is an idea of how our practices will be scheduled, in the hopes that it will help by providing general times for you to use as you make plans. We will update this information as soon as possible.

2023 Swim Practice Times
Swimmer Evaluations: To qualify for the team as a lane swimmer, a swimmer must be able to meet a modified version of the Red Cross Level III performance criteria. Specifically, they must be able to swim 15 yards front and back; float and/or tread water for 30 seconds. Swimmers must be able to demonstrate an independent level of comfort in the water and follow directions given from a Coach. Swimmers do not need to know all competitive strokes!
New lane swimmer evaluations will be scheduled and occur early in the season once the pools are open. After your child is on the team, we will help him or her become a better swimmer, as long as he/she is willing to practice and try his/her best!
In the event that a swimmer does not pass the evaluation, they will have the chance to practice on their own, and retry the evaluation ~two weeks later. If Coach determines that a swimmer is not ready to join the team, we would ask that the swimmer consider swim lessons and return to join the team next year. In this scenario, registration fees will be refunded.
Minis (Age 4 -6 years): Must be comfortable getting in and out of the water with no parental assistance; comfortable putting face in the water; able to follow instructions.
