  • 6 and Under parents need to wait on the property during practice. We encourage you to wait in the Pavilion.
    • All other practices are considered drop off, but coaches and swim volunteers cannot monitor kids who are not in the current swim practice. Pick your kids up on time!
  • Suit info can be found here.
  • Coaches and swim team volunteers are not responsible for watching kids who are not in the current practice. Make sure to watch your kids on the playground/parking lot.
  • LABEL EVERYTHING you send to practices/meets with your swimmer. Lost and found items will be regularly thrown out by our HOA due to limited space. Other tips can be found here.
  • Swim families who are NOT Saddle Creek HOA members CANNOT stay at the pool after practices or after coach swim lessons. Families who abuse the privileges of joining our team will be removed from the team without refunds and are not allowed to rejoin. This was agreed upon in registration.
