Practices
Practice Schedule is Subject to change.....Please check this site often.
All practices are currently scheduled for the Sendero Springs Pool. Swimmers will be assigned a workout time by the coaches based on overall safety, relative ability, and workout efficiency. The coaches are challenged with providing excellent coaching for every individual but have limited space and hours to work with 300+ swimmers. That is 64+- swimmers per hour with 2 lanes per coach in an 8-lane pool. The coaches will attempt to be flexible to special situations as long as it does not compromise the safety, efficiency or best interests of the team as a whole.
Bottom Line: The coaches determine and assign all practice time attendance.
Each practice will have swimmers assigned by the coach that may or may not be with their age group or gender. It will be based on physical and mental ability and in order to safely balance the number of swimmers in each practice. Parents do not move your swimmer without talking to a coach first or else they may not get to practice that day.
