Practices
In general there are five morning practices (M, Tu, W, Th, F) and four afternoon practices (M, T, W, Th) offered each week. Wednesday mornings following swim meets are a special is a Ribbons and Relays practice.
Swimmers are not expected to attend every practice, but should choose the practices that work with their schedules. Parents do not need to inform coaches of which practice they will attend, and swimmers are free to switch back and forth between mornings and afternoons based on their schedules.
There are a few exceptions to the schedule above:
- Morning practices do not start until DeKalb County Schools are out.
- There is no Tuesday afternoon practice on days there are swim meets.
- Friday practice is only offered until school gets out.
Morning practices are considerably less crowded than afternoon practices. Swimmers in morning practices often get more attention and personalized instruction.
