Practices take place at the University of Massachusetts Totman pool on Eastman Lane. Practice schedules are listed on the team calendar.
- Swimmers are encouraged to attend the maximum number of practices per week possible.
- Attendance will be taken on a daily basis. Coaches understand, however, that there may be conflicts with other sports and activities that may limit a swimmer’s attendance at every practice.
- Coaches should be notified if swimmers: (1) cannot attend practice, (2) will be late, or (3) need to leave early.
- Swimmers are not penalized if they miss practices. However, relay teams are partly based on performance of the swimmer and performance is usually related to practice attendance.
- Be sure to look at your mailbox folder at practices, or have your child do so.
- DO NOT interrupt coaches during practice. Please ask your questions before practice starts or after practice ends.
All swimmers should bring a water bottle to practice. Sport drinks such as Gatorade or PowerAid are NOT allowed in the pool.
