Both HOA2 and CPN2 off Monarch will be used this year for practices. Special thanks to Crocs families who volunteered to help coordinate these arrangements. Please note we have made time changes for the 8&under groups only... there will be a 7:20 and 9:00 a.m. at HOA2 and a 7:00 and 7:40 at CPN2. All older kids (9 & up) will either be at 7 or 8 a.m. at HOA2. We tried to accommodate everyone's first choice, but realize there may still be conflict. If you have an issue, please email Kathleen to see if we can find a solution. Much thought went into scheduling, factoring in:
- Coach to swimmer ration
- number of swimmers per lane
- timing for year round school kids
- honoring family requests and preferred times
- keeping it fun and a bonding experience with friends/age groups
- ease for parents- keep family at same pool
- CPN2's board's request to host as many of their own families as possible
- budget and administration
Practices will be held Monday through Friday. There will be no practice on July 1-3rd to give swimmers a chance to enjoy the 4th of July holiday. There will be no practice on July 13th and 14th as preliminary meets are taking place these days.
Practices will be at HOA#2 on Oxford starting at 7 and running till 9 a.m. If your swimmer will be out for an illness, vacation, etc., please simply notify the Head Coach.
Practice will be held unless it is thundering or lightening. During cold or inclement weather, the coaches will decide whether it is appropriate to be in the water. If not, they will hold a dry land practice where the kids will stretch, do sit ups/push ups, goal setting, etc. If in doubt, please check the pool gate for a posted sign. It is ultimately your decision whether or not to attend practice.
