Swim Practice/Time Trials Cancelled Thursday, May 15th Due to Weather

Practice will be cancelled today, May 15th due to the rain.

We are still planning to have picture day on Friday May 16th at 4:30. If the weather is questionable, we'll send an update email and post information here on the blog also.

Time Trials Moved to Thursday May 15th

Hi everyone,
We apologize for the practice cancellations the last two days. There was an issue with the chlorine levels within the pool. We contacted our pool maintenance company and had been told the issue would be fixed before Wednesday's practice, but unfortunately they were not able to correct the problem until late in the afternoon on Wednesday.

Time trials have been rescheduled for Thursday, May 15th at the regular practice times for all age groups.

Also, as a reminder, we will be having team and individual pictures on Friday. The group picture will be taken at 4:30pm, so please try to arrive by then so that we can have everyone in the picture. We will have photo package envelopes/forms at practice for you to take home and fill out prior to Friday.

Smile! Picture Day - Friday May 16th

Individual and Group team photos will be taken on Friday, May 16th. All swimmers should wear their team swimsuit and come to the pool by 4:30 that day for the group team photo. Please try to arrive promptly at 4:30 so that we can get the team photo taken right away. Following the team photo, we will then be taking individual swim pictures.

Our photographer will be from Score Photo. Score Photo offers several photo packages in a variety of price points, with options for buttons, magnets, mugs, etc. Everyone who purchases a picture package will receive a FREE 8x10 team photo. We will be handing out the photo pkg envelopes during practice a few days in advance to make the ordering process faster.

In addition, a photographer from Score Photo will be attending one of our home meets to take action pictures of our swimmers. These will be posted to the Score Photo website and available for individual purchase. More info on this later.

Practice Change Effective Tuesday May 13th

We have decided to extend the 6 & under practice time to be 45 minutes instead of the current 30 minutes. It makes sense for this group to have the extra 15 minutes and we feel it will overall benefit the entire team. Based on that all of the other practices will start 15 minutes later beginning Tuesday May 13th.

6 & Under - 4:15 - 5:00pm
10& under - 5:00- 5:45pm
8 & Under - 5:45- 6:30 pm
11 & Up - 6:30 - 7:15 pm
We apologize for another change, should be the last :-)

Time Trials will be held Wednesday, May 14th

Time trials will be held next Wednesday, May 14th for all age groups. Please try to attend as this gives the coaches a beginning time for placement at the first meet. Thanks!

Reminder -- Regular Practice on Fridays in May

Just a reminder that we will be holding regular practice for all age groups on Fridays in May. The only exception will be Friday, May 16th which will be picture day.
