Good afternoon Racers!

MONDAY is our first day of practice! The practice times are adjusted a bit from last year based on our registration numbers for each age group.

5-6 years old 4:00 – 4:30 PM

7-8 years old 4:30 – 5:00 PM

11-12 & 13-14 5:00 – 6:00 PM

9-10 & 15-18 6:00 – 7:00 PM

These times will begin Monday – Friday from Monday, May 13 – Wednesday, May 22. We will switch to morning practices on Thursday, May 23.

If you have a 4 year old who will try out to join the Racers as an independent swimmer, we will have this try out on Wednesday at 3:30 PM (before regular practices start). We will need a couple of days to get the chaos under control before we can add in our youngest RacersJ

Those of you who are new to our Racers family, please bring the following on Monday:

Birth certificate

Racer dressed in a swimsuit

Goggles

2 towels – 1 to dry off on and 1 to wrap up in afterwards. (the first 3 weeks or so of practice can be kind of chilly sometimes)

Please remember that parent seating during practices will only be available in the pavilion or outside the pool gate in the playground area. No parents or siblings will be allowed on the pool deck or in the water feature pool during practices.

10 & under Racers MUST have a parent present during all practices or have a designated “guardian” (friend of parent) to represent them in case of an emergency. Thank you for your understanding!!

One last note, please be patient during this first week of practice. The first few days of practice tend to be pure chaos and pandemonium as everyone gets used to the routine and to the coaches. This year we have the added chaos of a whole new coach who needs to learn the kids, their abilities, our facility, and the parents. We really DO know what we’re doing but it takes the first week to settle in.

Looking forward to our 2019 Racers Summer season!!! See ya’ll at the pool…….
