Swim Team Meet Schedule – 2023
Swim team will practice five days a week using our traditional schedule.
Monday, Wednesday and Friday practices will run from 9-10:30 AM for Juniors and Seniors and 9-10 AM for Age Group swimmers.
Tuesday and Thursday practices will focus on swimming fundamentals (strokes, turns and start drills) and run from 9-10 AM for all age groups.
The Junior Team is available to swimmers who would like to participate in the swim team but still need more focused swim instruction. Junior Team practices will take place during swim lessons on Tuesdays and Thursdays or Monday and Wednesday from 11:00 to 11:30. Please refer to the Junior Team membership requirements below.
Additionally, we will continue to offer the Senior Team for those members who are rising juniors or seniors. Many of these members have summer jobs or other responsibilities and are unable to attend daily practice but would still like to be part of the team. Senior Team members are welcome to attend swim practice when their schedule allows. If a Senior Team member is at the beach club during normal practice time, it is expected that they participate. In addition, they are encouraged and welcome to participate in all swim team meets. Please note that according to SAL rules, any swimmer who swims at the championship meet must have swum in at least one regular season meet. Following SAL League rules, swim team participation is open to all club members who are 18 or under during the summer swim season. Swim team members must be able to swim one length independently, be comfortable in deep water, and be willing to learn basic headfirst entries. With the shortened daily practice, you can expect that this season will have a higher degree of focus on swimming fundamentals (strokes, turns, and start drills).
