Practice attendance is important in the development of the kids and swimming.  However, due to family schedules and group practice time changes from previous years, it may be hard to attend.  Swimmers should try and make as many practices per week as they can.  There is no required attendance policy but the following is suggested:

Mini: 2-3 practices per week

Intermediate: 3-4 practices per week

Junior: 4-5 practices per week

Senior: 5-6 practices per week.

Pull buoy – to use with paddles.  The Y has been nice enough to purchase pull buoys.  We will be using throughout the season but it is not necessary to purchase.
