GP Swimming: 1st Practice Wed. May 29

Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend!  Despite the chilly start to our summer, we start swim practice on Wed. May 29 according to the schedule outlined below.

Please note that how often and how long the team gets in the water depends on the weather.  Coach Shannon's plan is to get in the pool every day, but cold weather or rain may prevent it.  This is especially true for the younger swimmers.  Some seasons, the Tadpoles do not start practicing consistently until school is out and the hot weather arrives.

For the early season practices, please be sure to bring sneakers and gym clothes (shorts, t-shirt, sweats, etc.) because all age groups will be doing dry-land training (running and calisthenics).

Please look for future emails or go to the Frog Blog (http://www.gpfrogsblogs.blogspot.com/) for any changes or updates to the practice schedule.  Practice cancellations will also be posted on the blog. 


See you Wednesday.

GP Tri-County Representative
