What if my child cannot attend all of the practices and/or meets?

We ask that you make your best effort to attend practices and meets. Many families can only attend mornings or evening practices. You are welcome to participate as much as possible and we encourage your child to come to meets EVEN if they have missed practices. The meets are incredibly FUN, friendly, welcoming, and supportive of swimmers of all abilities.

Clinics
Based on sufficient interest. Will be offered from 8:00-9:00pm after the pool closes between Monday and Thursday.
