8 & under swimmers can expect to swim 10 – 25 lengths of the pool (250-700 meters) daily during practice.We cannot accommodate changing groups for convenience. Each group practices at a different time ranging from 7:30AM to 11AM.Athletes are separated into one of four (4) groups, by age and ability.For the safety of the children, all swimmers must be able to swim the length of the pool, without stopping, on the first day of practice.Dive meets are usually Saturday mornings, but day and times can vary.Swim meets are Monday afternoons (unless 4th of July falls on a Monday or Tuesday).Swim practices are M-F from early June through mid-July.
