Week 2 Information:

If you are out of school or not attending school this week and are able to attend morning practices, please join Coaches Audrey and Megan for practice from 9-10:00, Monday-Thursday this week.  Sign up, here.

Friday Practice & Pancake Breakfast!

We only have morning practice on Friday, there will not be any afternoon practices. 11 and older will be from 8:15-9:15 and 10 and unders will be from 8:45-9:45.

Russell Schaffer has graciously offered to cook pancakes for our team members on Friday morning right after morning practices. Please RSVP for anyone who is planning on eating pancakes by Thursday at Noon. Our team meeting and social will follow the breakfast!

Looking Ahead

Next week our practice schedule changes to our summer schedule. If you are able to attend morning practices, it is highly, highly recommended. The pool is quieter, practice is less crowded and we have a lot more space to spread out. We ask that our afternoon practices are left for those swimmers who attend camps and cannot practice in the mornings! To see our practice schedule, click here.
