Practice Schedule

PRACTICES

Mariners practice Monday through Thursday at the  North High Pool complex and Tuesday and Thursday at the West High School Pool.  This works extremely well as those are our busiest practice nights.

There are three practice sessions:

Many swimmers opt to practice less than the four nights per weeks as other activities and their interest allows. Obviously, more practice usually results in better performance, but attending every practice is not a requirement.
 

For the most part, practice times are by age group. However, the coaches may recommend that a swimmer move to an earlier or later practice depending on the swimmer’s abilities.

All swimmers will have 15 minutes of stretching and warm-ups before entering the water, the warmup routine is posted on the wall around the pool.

We will have access to the locker rooms, so swimmers may change before and after practice. Many kids just wear sweat suits over their swimming suits. When the weather gets cold, however, we strongly recommend that the kids wear a hat over their wet hair as they leave the building, or plan to change before going home. Do not go into the hallways wet! This becomes a safety issue for other people in the building
