Dear Members,

There is currently no date set for an opening of the Truckee Community Pool due to COVID – 19 and the Nevada County / Sate order stating no swim teams or recreational sports teams both youth and adults can practice at this time.  

TTST is offering temporary weekly options for members to participate in organized team practices at Carson City Aquatics Center on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 4:00pm - 6:00pm.  We are limited to 5 lanes so please email: cyrus@truckeeswim.org or text Cyrus 808-276-8658 that you plan to swim at Carson City on the date.  If there is not space in the 5 lanes you can call Carson City pool 775-887-2242 and try to reserve lanes 9, 10, or 16. 

Advertised Team Saturdays at CCAC from 2:00pm - 4:00pm we will plan to rent the whole CCAC facility to be together as a TTST team ALL LEVELS.  Show up to CCAC by 1:45pm or when you can but before 4:00pm to participate. 

Below is a help guide if you are pursuing swim options on your own.  Please note that these are not official TTST practices or events.
