This is a free swim with the entire team, including Little Dolphins! Swimmers will receive ribbons from the meet the night before. This is a great time to just hang out and have donuts!

If your swimmer misses an occasional morning practice, they may attend an evening practice from 6:30-7:15* on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays only.

*6 & Unders leave at 7:00

Please note:

• Evening practice is limited to a maximum of 15 kids. Additional lanes cannot be added to accommodate additional swimmers.
• These spots are filled on a first come, first served basis
• Evening practices are not meant to be a swimmer's only practice, but to help maintain endurance in the event of a missed morning practice.
• Morning practices are tailored to age group ability, but evening practices are not since they are for any swimmer 6-18 years old. Keep this in mind for those 6 & Under swimmers that need extra help.
• While we do not penalize our swimmers for missing practices, those who attend regularly will see better time improvements and will be prioritized for swimming in more events during meets.
