Hi everyone, 

We had such a great turnout tonight at practice/evaluation night  -- so many new and returning faces!  After seeing the numbers we have in each age group and the variation in abilities across all of the age groups, the coaches have suggested some revisions to the practice schedule for our pre-season practices at PWHS.  

Coach Dave talked to each group as they were dismissed tonight and let them know what time they will start going forward.  The youngest swimmers and newest swimmers, who were swimming for Coach Dave in lanes 5 and 6, will start at 6 and swim until 7 PM.  (They were dismissed was a little earlier today since it was the first day and we needed to get the swimmers in the water who had been waiting).  The swimmers in Lanes 1 and 2  who were working with Matt and Emily today will swim from 6 to 7:30.  Senior swimmers and the swimmers who were in the group that was held until 6:45 today should arrive at 7 and stay until 8:30 if possible.  We can always accommodate your schedule if you need to leave practice earlier.

In summary:

• beginners and new to swimming 6-7 PM
• intermediate group 6-7:30 PM
• advanced and seniors 7-8:30 PM

The coaches will continue to get to know the swimmers and move them between practice lanes as necessary.  If you have questions about the start time or duration of practice for your child in particular, please reach out to Coach Dave [email protected] 

Practice times at the Pool Club which begin on June 17th will remain as scheduled.  The pre-season times updates are reflected on the Google calendar which is available on the website.  

Please reach out to us if you have any questions, 

Dave and the Coaches and Parent Committee
