Practice Schedule

2020 PRACTICE SCHEDULE

Three swim sessions a day are planned to make sure every swimmer gets what they need from the coaching staff. Within each session are smaller groups that are more specific to each athlete's abilities and needs. This helps to improve the coach to swimmer ratio.

Practice Location:

All practices will take place at the Parkwood Pool, which is located on 1314 Buttonwood Drive, Fort Collins CO 80525.

Practice times for 2018:

7:15am-8:30am: All swimmers 13 and over. BLACK GROUP

8:15 am-9:15 am: All swimmers 9 -12. RED GROUP

9:00 am-9:45 am: All swimmers 8 & under. PIRANHA GROUP

Children wishing to swim in a different group will need coach's permission.

Requirements:

Swimmers do not need previous swim team experience. However, for swimmer safety we require that all swimmers be able to swim one length of the pool comfortably without stopping. While we do have experienced coaches with much to offer, swim team is not meant to replace swim lessons. For swimmers that do not feel comfortable in a swim team setting at the beginning of the season, there is a possibility of joining later on in the season after doing swim lessons.

Swimmers must also be between the ages of 5-18 as of May 15th, 2020. (If a younger swimmer is able to swim the length of the pool, talk with Coach Jamie about an exception to this rule.)

Weather:

Practices will be held every day unless cancelled by the coach. An email will be sent out, the website will be updated, and a sign will be on the outside of the pool by 7 am notifying swimmers of any practice cancellations. In the event that the weather worsens during practice, coaches may release swimmers early.

It is required for the temperature to be above 65 degrees in order to get in the water, especially for the younger kids.
