Practice Times

Regular practices are held Monday through Friday in the mornings before the pool opens to residents. Times are listed on the website, in the Practice Groups homepage. Swimmers are encouraged to attend as many practices as possible, as improvement in technique and times is strongly linked to regular attendance.  If school is still in session, practices will be in the evening/after school hours, and a schedule is posted on the website: Practice Schedule.

• Swimmers should arrive 5-10 minutes before practice time to warm up and be ready in their lane to swim at their practice time. If worn, a swim cap and goggles should be on before entering the water, to make the most out of your workout time.
• Please exit the pool promptly when your practice is over, so as not to delay the next group's practice.
• Practices are held rain or shine. Practice in the pool will be canceled if there is a thunderstorm in the area, or if the air temperature is below 60 degrees F.  Coaches may still have swimmers come to the pool wearing tennis shoes and warm clothing so that dry land training activities can be done outside of the water. A coach will be present or a sign will be posted outside of the swimmer's entrance to the Oakhurst North pool if practice is canceled due to weather, and sent out via electronic communication. It is still the coaches' discretion to cancel the practice.
