ATTENDANCE RECOMMENDATIONS While we do not have minimum practice requirements, swimmers who attend practice regularly see the biggest improvements throughout the season. Below are suggestions on attendance for the groups for best advancement. Coaches encourage swimmers to attend every possible practice!
- Red/White group- 85% attendance gives swimmers the best opportunity to drop time and qualify for AA Champs
- Blue group- 85 to 95% attendance in regular-season practices provides the best chance to drop time and qualify for AA and Zone Champs
- Silver/Gold group- 90 to 95% attendance in regular-season helps to build the endurance necessary to drop time and qualify for AA's, Zones, and Nationals
SPECIAL NOTES ON ATTENDANCE
- High school-aged swimmers who wish to be on the AMFY team and compete for their high school teams should plan to attend a minimum of one AMFY practice per week
- All swimmers competing at A Champs, AA Champs, and Zone Champs must attend a minimum of 50% of practices during the week before the meet. 100% attendance is strongly encouraged.
- Swimmers competing at YMCA Nationals must attend 100% of National team practices in the weeks leading up to the meet. Anyone with conflicts must speak with Coach Matt BEFORE missing any practices.
