REGULAR SEASON SCHEDULE

* Below is our regular weekly schedule.  Please see schedule changes above for weekly or seasonal changes.

Schedule can be found on our club calendar.

Things to Remember

• Our policy is to be 10-15 minutes early for swim practice so that you are able to get in the water at the start of your practice time.  If you are going to be more than 10 minutes late, you need to let your coach know before practice begins. 
• If you are attending dryland, your suit should be on underneath your dryland clothing so you can make a quick transition from dryland to the pool.  Tennis shoes/sneakers are required for dryland.  Crocs and flip flops are a safety issue and athletes will not be permitted to participate. 
• Athletes should keep their backpacks in the locker room or on the benches on the side of the pool.  Towels may be left on the bench behind the blocks during cold or rainy weather.  Parents should not come behind the blocks without permission and should not interfere during practice time.
• All athletes are responsible for having their own equipment. (See pro shop for equipment needs by group.)  All equipment should be labeled with their name and they may store it on deck in an equipment bag.  Athletes are responsible for cleaning up their equipment after practice.   
• All athletes should have a water canteen available during practice.
• Absences, illnesses, injuries, questions etc., should be submitted to your coach in writing.  Falcons and Eagles should communicate directly with their coach, copying parents.
