  1. Dart Movie Night (Oct 16th) – We are having a fun movie night this Friday night for all our Aquadart swimmers. Younger swimmers will watch a movie at the Brady Building (Civic pool) while older swimmers will watch a movie at Community pool (Dart building). We will have popcorn and drinks for the swimmers. Movie night will run from 5:30pm – 7:30pm. Movie titles will be emailed out in advance. 
 
  1. Practice Schedule Changes (Friday) – Due to the movie night this week there are a couple of practice schedule changes. 
    1. Red/Blue – Friday practice @ Civic (4:30pm – 5:30pm)
    2. Bronze/ Silver – Friday practice @ Civic (4:15pm – 5:30pm)
    3. Silver/Gold/Senior/Varsity – Friday practice @ Community (4pm – 5:30pm)
    4. Note – Silver group swimmers have the option to attend the movie at Community or Civic. They have two practice options depending on the movie they would like to attend.
 
  1. Rainy Weather – There always seem to be questions regarding swim practice and the rain.
    1. Rain Policy - Here is our rain policy, “We will practice in the rain as long as you can see the bottom of the pool. If the rain becomes so heavy that we can’t safely see the bottom of the pool then we will cancel workout until the rain slows up a bit”. These situations rarely occurs so plan on attending workouts in the rain. Less people attend when it is raining so you will get more attention from your coach. 
    2. Weather Policy – Any visual sign of lighting (or any weather that threatens safety) and we will cancel workout for a 30 minute period. We will resume workout 30 minutes after the last lightning strike. This also doesn’t happen very often in this area but we want everyone to know that safety is the number one concern.
