Long Course Season
This year we are offering to all of our current swimmers in the Intro
to Competitive and SEAL Competitive the opportunity to train longer
and compete at long course meets for no additional cost (excluding
meet fees)!
In order to partake in this option, there must be no outstanding
balance owed to the club. The swimmers in these two groups will run
as scheduled until Friday, May 1st, 2015. Effective Monday, May 4th
until July 8th the schedule for both groups will be the following:
Mondays: 5:15 – 6:15 pm
Wednesdays: 5:15 – 6:15 pm
Fridays: 5:00 – 6:00pm
We understand that the swimmers will also have other activities
occurring over the summer. Our expectation is that they continue
with one to two practice(s) a week in order to maintain their
swimming fitness.
Please let Coach Bailey know if you are thinking of
participating in this opportunity so we have an idea of
numbers.
Upcoming Practice Changes
Friday, May 1, 2015 – Bring a Friend to Practice
On Friday, Intro to SEAL and SEAL Competitive Groups will have the
opportunity to bring a friend to practice from 4:30-5:30 pm. We
asked that any friend be able to swim and be comfortable in the
deep end. If you have any questions, please contact Coach Bailey or
Coach Caitlin.
Upcoming Meets
Please take a look at the meets below and take note of the deadlines.
The email has an attachment of the swimmers who are currently
