Parents & Swimmers,

Many of you have been waiting for an indication of what our practice schedule will be like once High School season is over.  Well, now that I have a little more information, I can let you know.

Beginning November 9th, for one week we will have Gold practice at Service Pool from 2:30-4:30p with one hour of dryland after from 4:30-5:30p.  Why only one week?  Since the renovation at Service, it has become necessary to apply a new surface to the deck.  It is very slippery and they want to make sure that both staff and patrons do not slip and slide around the deck.  

For that reason, Service will be closed from the 16th-30th of November.  During that time, with 3 exceptions, the Gold practice will be at UAA from 2:30-4:30p with one hour of dryland afterward.  The following dates we were unable to secure UAA practice time.  We will be at East for these dates:

  • Tuesday, November 17th at East from 2:30-4:30p

  • Friday, November 20th at East from 2:30-4:30

  • Tuesday, November 24th at East from 2:30-4:30p

For simplicity sake, we will not make any changes to any other practice group’s schedule until after the Service Pool deck has been completed.

Once the deck at Service Pool is ready, we will have

  • Gold 2:30-4:30p at Service Monday, Wednesday, Friday and at UAA Tuesday & Thursday.  There will be dryland each day from 4:30-5:30p.
  • We will continue to offer Bronze and Novice practice at UAA with the current schedule, but we will also offer them at Service on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.  Bronze will be from 4-5:30p on those days.  Novice will be 4:30-5:30p on Monday and Wednesday, and 4-5:30p on Fridays.
