When will my swimmer practice?
Swimmers will be assigned a TEMPORARY schedule for the first 3-5 weeks
of the season following the first practice
A "skills assessment" process will be used to best determine where swimmers will fit for routine assignments as well as to work around any coaching restrictions required by the MN State High School League.
At the end of this assessment process,
swimmers will receive a PERMANENT practice schedule based on their routine assignment
