Meet Schedule
2009-10 Swim Team Schedule
Practices
Practice times will remain the same as last year,
with the exception of adding 15 minutes to double practice
nights for
longer second practice. First practice will be for younger
and new swimmers (12 and younger) and second practice will be for
13 and over and experienced swimmers. If you are not sure which
practice your child belongs in, please ask a coach. Tuesdays
will stay as older swimmers only. Placement into groups will
be decided by the coaches.
Sunday 5:45-8:30 p.m.
Monday 5:45-8:45 p.m.
Tuesday 5:45-8:00 p.m.
Wednesday 5:45-8:45 p.m.
Thursday 5:450-8:45 p.m.
Each day there is a 15 minute overlap time so that swimmers can arrive on deck,
get their equipment in front of their lanes and start stretching.
Likewise, first practice swimmers should make every effort
to arrive early even if they are not in the water immediately.
"in the water" time is 15 minutes after arrival times above.
Tryout Details
All new swimmers who were not on our team last year must attend the tryout - dates for 2009 are TBA. Entry level swimmers must be able to swim 50 yards freestyle
and 50 yards backstroke. Swimmers 13 years of age and older
must swim 100 yards freestyle and 100 yards backstroke. After
the try-out period ends, coaches MAY STILL HAVE TO
LIMIT TEAM SIZE FOR SAFETY. There has been tremendous
interest in the team. Returning team members
will attend their normal sessions beginning in September 20th. YMCA
membership is not required to try out,
but is required for the season.
