Our first week of swim practices went great! As a reminder, practices are held at Monticello Manor pool (1131 Bellow Falls Dr.) through June 28.

This week our coaches will be coordinating with parents of new swimmers to be swim tested on Thursday evening or Friday morning. Your kids safety is our priority! Swimmers must be able to cross the pool safely without touching lane ropes, sides or pool bottom. Swimmer eligibility is at the discretion of the head coaches and parent board. If your child cannot safely complete this assessment, they will not be able to continue with the team and a refund will be issued, less a $25 (resident)/$35 (non-resident) administrative fee.

Next Monday, June 10th is the last day to drop from the team and receive a refund, less a $25/$35 administrative fee.

Attendance:

Be prepared:

Please do your best to arrive on time with your swimmers ready for practice. Practices begin with stretching on the pool deck before entering the water. Goggles are encouraged, swimming caps are optional. At the start of the season, the water can be chilly (especially at morning practices), so consider bringing a hoodie or bath robe with their towel, to warm up.

First couple of weeks:

Please be patient with our coaches and volunteer parent board as we work any kinks out in these first couple of weeks. Our goal is to ensure our kids' safety and comfort in the pool. For new or beginner swimmers, please allow coaches to evaluate their safety and skill to determine which lane is best for them. These first two weeks are important for gaining confidence in the water as well as learning the routine of swimming on a team.

Kiddie Pool:

If you bring a small child to practice, the kiddie pool will be open, but the child MUST be supervised by a parent at all times. The kiddie pools will NOT be open during meets.

Communications:

Please visit our website for practice and meet schedules. Weather related updates will be sent via email and our team Facebook page. If you have questions, please email our volunteer parent board at [email protected]. Meet reminders will be emailed in advance.

😃 Here's to another week of growing and having fun at swim practice!
