Summer - 2013

**Watch the 2012 Swim Team Video**

Coaches:

Swimming Practice Schedule:
Practices are  held Monday through Friday and will begin on Monday, June 10 and continue through the last week of July.  Swimmers are grouped and practice approximately according to age.  Coaches can and do make adjustments in terms of what swimmers swim in which practice based upon skills, and competitive swimming experience.  It is not unusual for an “8 & Under” to practice with the older group of swimmers with the coach’s approval.

**SPECIAL NOTE: Swim Team members in the 13-15 Age-Group are invited to attend a 7:00 - 8:00 a.m. Special Practice designated for this age-group.  There are several advantages to attending this workout: 

      •Small numbers in each workout lane.

      •Workouts specificaly suited to your age and skills.

      •A chance to experience beautiful and quiet mornings.

Diving Practice:
Children interested in the Diving Program will meet on Monday, June 10th at 10:00 a.m.  An exact practice schedule will be developed at that time.  Normally, practices will be scheduled between 10:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.
