First Week of Practice
Please plan on arriving to practice 5-10 minutes ahead of your scheduled practice time. Practices start right on time and swimmers should be ready to go – cover ups and shoes off and goggles on.
For practices, female swimmers should be in a one piece suit. Male swimmers may wear swim trunks, jammers or briefs. Rash guards are allowed during practice however they are not allowed to be worn at the meets. All swimmers must wear goggles. Swim caps are optional.
Don’t forget your towel, water and sunscreen!
Parents are not allowed on deck. You are welcome to observe practice from outside the fence.
Please do not disturb the coaches or swimmers during practice. If you have a question, you may give a message to one of the board members on deck and we will deliver the message to your swimmer or coach.
Please pick up your swimmer promptly after their practice. The coaches are not responsible for watching your swimmer before or after their practice time.
Safety First!
Please be aware of increased traffic on Briarhills Parkway and Forest Home during practice hours. Car riders: stay alert for pedestrians, bike riders and young children in the streets. Please do not block crosswalks, intersections or homeowner driveways with your vehicle.
Bike riders and walkers, please be safe en route to the pool. Stay on sidewalks and cross only at crosswalks. Briarhills Parkway is a busy road, especially during the evenings. Stay alert and be cautious when crossing the street.
Inclement Weather
If it is lightly raining, we will still practice. If there is thunder and/or lightning we may delay practice or cancel it. Weather updates will be posted on the website under the “Weather Updates” tab. If practice is cancelled or delayed, an email will also be sent to you so please monitor both the website and email on rainy days.
Practice Attendance
If your swimmer needs to miss practice here and there, it is not necessary to let us know. We understand that you may not be able to attend every practice. If you plan to miss several days in a row due to an extenuating circumstance, please do notify us.
