Frequently Asked Questions by new families

Do I have to start during the summer?

No, we recommend families take a break after summer league
and begin when the new season begins in August. Families may join anytime
during the year.

Do swimmer/s practice every day?

No, we try to offer practices as many days as possible during
the week, but families choose the number of days per week their swimmer/s would
like to practice. The more they practice the more they will improve. Families
also pick what days they would like to swim if that group is offered. 

Swimmers may practice up to 6 times a week for 60-90 minutes per practice. The specific group will determine the monthly fee.
