Friday dryland is held on select weeks.

Weather

Practices are held outdoors in most weather conditions. The pool is heated to approximately 81°F.

Practice may be canceled for freezing temperatures, thunderstorms, or heavy rain, but light rain usually does not affect practice.

Holiday Practices

Practices are typically scheduled during Thanksgiving and winter breaks, often during the day. Attendance is expected unless a swimmer is traveling with family and a parent confirms the absence with Coach.

Winter-break practices are especially important because a meet is typically scheduled during the break.

Equipment

Swimmers should provide:

Team suit — required for meets. Returning swimmers may reuse a previous team suit. A3 suits can be ordered during registration; women’s Jolyn suits are available through the Team Store.
Practice suit
Goggles
Pull buoy/kickboard
Water bottle
Fins, paddles and snorkel, if requested by the coach

Provided by the team:

Swim bag*
Swim parka*
Team T-shirt
Team swim cap

Swim bags and parkas must be returned at the end of the season.
