Practices
All practices will be held at South River Colony South pool (with the exception of the evening groups prior to the end of the school year), organized by age groups. (See practice schedule tab) The age of each child on June 1st of each swim season determines the age group in which he/she will swim throughout the season, regardless of summer birthdays. On the first day of practice, coaches will be present to organize each age group. Swimmers will be assigned a practice lane, then meet the other swimmers. Swimmers will be placed in lanes by age and ability level. Workouts will be designed to improve technique, speed and aerobic endurance. While attendance at every practice isn't mandatory, it is greatly encouraged. Swimming is an endurance sport and daily practice will help swimmers get the most out of the season.
In order to accommodate as many swimmers as possible, you may be asked to switch to a different practice time based on ability. If you are able to attend morning practices, please sign up for that group as evening slots are limited due to lane availability. This helps to ensure that swimmers are grouped together based on ability so that they can receive adequate instruction and an effective workout. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility.
