SWIM PRACTICE - Starts Wed May 29


Below, please find practice times for the "preseason" as well as when school lets out.  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. 


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).  Also, 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 water every day, but some times the cold or rain prevents that.  This is especially true for the younger swimmers.  Some seasons, the Tadpoles do not start practicing consistently until school is out and the summer weather arrives. 


Practice times for Wed.-Fri. May 29-May 31 are as follows:

·         3:30pm to 4:30pm: 13-14, and 15-18

·         4:30pm to 5:30pm -9-10 and 11-12
