PRACTICE PLAN
Implement fun with learning! Each practice includes a 15-minute deck workout, which includes stretching, strength exercises targeting upper body and abdominal's. Swimmers must complete deck workout before entering the water, even if swimmer is late. The deck workout ends with the daily objectives for each group. For example, “this practice concentrates on streamline and glide for breaststroke.” Water workouts will always consist of freestyle warm-up, technique demonstration, drills for the stroke of the day and meeting the objective as well as a Q&A. The 6 & under group will have their own set of goals and objectives to complete. EACH GROUP TEAM CHEER! EVERY SWIMMER, EVERYDAY!

Team Practice Rules
Swimmers are expected to be at each practice according to the schedule defined and per the specified age group and time associated with that age group. Due to the team size swimmers will not be allowed to swim at times other than their assigned times. Failure of the parents and swimmers to conform to the schedule defined and swim at the assigned times will create a safety and instructional hazard to the other swimmers and Coaches. The swimmer in violation will be pulled from the pool and requested to sit on the deck.
While extenuating circumstances may exist this rule is in place for the safety of all swimmers and to comply with instructional guidelines for Coach to Swimmer Ratio’s.
Parents’ failure to comply with the assigned age group times will result in a violation of the team guidelines and membership agreement and may result in forfeiture of volunteer deposit and render the swimmer ineligible to participate in the current weeks swim meet or other disciplinary action deemed necessary by the Board of Directors to assure a safe swim environment for all swimmers.
