Weather permitting, practices for the 8 & Under swimmers will begin on May 16th.  Practices for all other swimmers will begin on May 18th. 

While school is still in session we will have two evening practices:

• 4:45-6:00 pm
• 5:45-7:00 pm

Once the local schools let out for the summer, we will start morning practices.  For 2011, morning practices will begin on Tuesday, May 31st.  We will still keep a single afternoon practice, for those families whose scheduling conflicts make attending the morning practices difficult. Beginning May 31st, the practice schedule will be:

• 7:45-9:00 am
• 8:45-10:00 am
• 5:45-7:00 pm

Each practice consists of 15 minutes of dry land workout and approximately 60 minutes of swimming.  The busiest practice is typically the 8:45 am practice; we encourage families to attend the earlier 7:45 am practice, as turnout is usually smaller and the coaches are able to give more attention to each swimmer. 

Practice Etiquette
The coaches really do like to talk to parents. Don’t hesitate to ask them questions or ask for help. Please remember, however, that they are working on deck during practices and are concentrating on your swimmer’s progress. PLEASE DO NOT INTERRUPT THEM OR YOUR CHILDREN DURING PRACTICES. Utilize the Parent Reps to voice your comments or concerns, or contact the head coach after practice. You may contact them via e-mail (coaches@stonegatestingrays.info) or phone to schedule a meeting with you when necessary.
