Hello Swimming and Diving Families!

Coaches are enjoying getting to know athletes and we’re all getting into a training groove. It’s hard to believe the week after our break will have our first dual meet! Below find info on practice schedule changes, parent requirements, key upcoming dates, and Focus Practices info. 

Practice Schedule

Swim practice Monday through Saturday this week: 10am-12 pm. Diving: Wednesday-Friday only starting at 11am  (Coach Karla will be in contact if practice is canceled due to weather). Swimmers who are unable to attend practice must fill out the Missed Practice Form for EVERY DAY you will miss. If you are out of town and have access to a pool there are some suggested sets: February Break Set if out of town. Note: our Saturday swim practices shifted from 10am-12pm for the rest of the season.

Our swim meets and pasta feeds desperately need you to sign-up!
