[2] NEW ADDITIONAL PRACTICES ADDED TO THE WMST SCHEDULE

    CISD Natatorium: 9:00 AM Tues/Thurs:

    Note: This is a new COACHED practice held BEFORE the Swimming 101 Class. It replaces the noncoached practice held last spring at 9:30am during the Beginner Class session.


    CISD Natatorium: 7:30 PM Tues/Thurs

    Note: Due to popular demand and lane crowding, we are now offering 2 evening practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays, one held at 6:30 pm and the new practice at 7:30 pm.
 
    Swimmers MUST pick one practice time to attend. They cannot swim both or swim for an 1-1/2 hr spanning both. Practice start and ending times will be strictly enforced.

     Northampton: Changed to 7:00 PM Wednesday evenings (instead of Thursday evenings).

arking along the street, as the parking lot will be closed off.
