Pool Update

Adam Depmore

Dear Team,

I want to extend my sincere gratitude to everyone for working with our staff and board to keep things moving smoothly this week. It was incredibly rewarding to see so many of you at practice yesterday. Changing locations on short notice is never easy, but your flexibility and positive attitude have made this temporary transition much easier for all of us.

Things are truly coming together, and we appreciate your continued commitment and momentum.

I am happy to share that the parts needed to heat the YMCA pool are arriving soon. The YMCA has informed me that the heating system will be turned on this Friday. It will take approximately 24–48 hours for the water to return to its normal temperature, which should allow us to resume practice there on Monday, December 8th.

With this in mind, our plan is as follows:

Tuesday–Wednesday–Thursday (RRAC)

  • 4:00–5:00 PM: Junior group swim

  • 5:00–6:00 PM: Turns for Senior and Elite

  • 6:00–6:30 PM: Roll-out and stretch for Senior and Elite

  • 6:30–8:00 PM: Senior and Elite swim

Friday

  • No swim practice: All coaches will be helping run the distance events at the Graceland meet.

Friday–Sunday

  • Graceland Swim Meet at RRAC: We will send full details, timelines, and updates for all attendees later this week.

Monday

  • Return to YMCA

Reminder: While the RRAC pool is heated, the indoor air can be cold. Please dress warmly and bring extra towels.

Thank you all again for your teamwork and resilience. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

Sincerely,
Coach Adam
