All swimmers are required to have athletic/tennis shoes, water bottle, shorts, and shirt in addition to their swimming equipment to participate in dry-land exercises.  All swimmers should also have the appropriate swimming gear.  This information is on the web site.  If your swimmer doesn't have all the equipment listed for their group, please go to the Life Guard Store to purchase the equipment needed.  If you'd like us to be able to return misplaced equipment, please make sure names or initials are on all items.  I have extra kick boards and fins to give out at no cost if you are in need of one of these items.  You can let me know at the pool. 

In order to get practice started on time, we need to have all swimmers arrive at the pool 10 to 15 minutes before practice begins so we can get the lane lines and backstroke flags in place.  It is very important that our young swimmers learn the importance of being on time.  We realize that you might be late once in a while due to work or traffic but there are several swimmers that come late to practice on a regular basis.  If you will be late on a regular basis due to work or other scheduling conflicts please let me know ahead of time so I can make a note in our attendance book.  If your swimmer(s) come late to practice on a regular basis and you do not have a conflict, I will contact you to discuss the need to be on time.
