DOES MY CHILD HAVE TO ATTEND EVERY PRACTICE?

Depending on the group your child swims in, they will have certain attendance requirements or expectations, to stay in those groups and participate in meets. Not all groups have practice requirements. 

WHEN SHOULD I ARRIVE FOR PRACTICE?

Swimmers should arrive 15 minutes early to have time to change, ready their equipment, and speak to coaches. Remember, scheduled starting times are when swimmers will jump in to begin the work out. If swimmers arrive late, have them ready as soon as possible and send them to their coach. On Saturdays swimmers must arrive on time or will not be allowed to participate. 

WHAT SHOULD MY SWIMMER BRING TO PRACTICE?

Swimmers should have appropriately fitting swimsuits, goggles, swim caps, a water bottle, and closed-toed athletic shoes for dryland EVERYDAY. Additional training equipment is group specific. 

WHAT IF I HAVE TO LEAVE EARLY?

If you must leave early, please inform your coach before practice.

ARE PARENTS ALLOWED ON DECK DURING PRACTICE?

Parents and siblings are not allowed directly on the pool deck during practice. Parents are welcome to observe their swimmers from designated viewing areas. Parent interaction during practice can be distracting to the coaching staff, your swimmer, and other swimmers.

WHEN CAN I SPEAK TO MY CHILD’S COACH?

Quick questions and concerns can be posed before or after practice. For more in-depth inquiries, the best way to reach our coaching staff is by sending them an email or message on whatsapp.

WEATHER POLICY

ⓘ Please do not call the pool office to see if the pool is open. If it is only raining — all groups will train at their normal times.

ⓘ If there is thunder and lightning in the area –most pools have a “Thor guard” lightning detection system. When the alarm goes off, we must exit the pool and get off the pool deck as soon as possible. Bravo coaches will handle this occurrence as follows.

If the alarm goes off coaches will asses the weather and either run dryland or send swimmers home if conditions seem dangerous. 

When the storms are being caused by a large system and weather looks to be the same over a longer time, we will cancel practices in a reasonable fashion.
Tropical Weather – When a tropical storm is approaching, we will become subject to all school policies regarding school closures.
