What do I wear and bring to practice?
Bring a towel, goggles, and swim cap if desired.
Girls may wear recreational one piece swimsuit or their competition suit.
Two piece swimsuits are discouraged during practice but acceptable at Fun Swim.
Boys may wear recreational swim trunks or their competition jammers.
Rashguards are acceptable during practice but may hinder performance during meets.
What should parents do during swim practice?
Parents are welcome to stay in the pavilion at every practice.
The pavilion has electrical outlets, tables and chairs, and an excellent view of the pool. We ask that parents of swimmers ages 5 and up use the pavilion. Little Fins parents may sit poolside to provide assurance for their little ones if needed.
How does weather impact swim practice?
Light rain will not cancel swim practice, but heavy rain that obscures the bottom of the pool will delay practice until it subsides. Lightning or thunder will stop practice for 30 minutes. This may effectively cancel the current practice or impact the next one. We will use Group Me notifications to update families on the state of practice. It may not always be possible to respond to emails in a timely fashion as weather delays occur. You may always make decisions on whether to attend practice that are best for your family.
