1.Practice Schedule - is available online. The team calendar is updated and you can click on the Practice/Meet Schedule link on the home page to print the schedule. If any changes to the practice location are made you will be notified via email.
2.Weather delays and cancellation - It is common this time of year for an afternoon practice to be delayed or cancelled due to thunder. Practice cancellations will be emailed and also sent out as a text message if you have opted into that service (Remind - text @dbws to 81010).
3.If you are dropping your child off for swim team practice, please make sure you have personally spoken with someone at the pool who can keep an eye on your child. This applies to children who are participating in practice and those siblings who are not. Some practice locations do not have a full time lifeguard. You must designate someone to be your child’s contact, particularly if your child is under 10. Also, please be sure that you have provided a means for your child to reach you during practice in the event that weather requires practice cancellation.
EQUIPMENT
- SWIM SUITS: Swimmers can purchase a team suit on the website. There is a link on the website that will take you to our team suit. A team suit is not required. Any suit is acceptable. A competition suit can also be purchased at any sporting goods store. Our team colors are green and black. A competition suit is not required but your swimmer may find it much easier to swim in a competition suit compared to recreational suits.
- GOGGLES: Goggles are optional, but most swimmers prefer to use them.
- SWIM CAPS: Swim caps are optional, but the team does supply (1) team cap to each swimmer per season (extras can be purchased for $5 - see Lora Roberts).
