Good evening, Torpedo!
We have a little over two weeks before we start practicing on May 20.
We'll have the entire team on site in the afternoons from then until Burke schools are out. Then we will switch into more divided age groups with more training geared to the different age groups.
May 20-May 23; May 28-30:
Ages 11 and Up: 3:30pm-4:30pm
Ages 10 and Under: 4:30pm-5:00pm
Please have swimmers changed and on deck with a kick board at the start time of practice. These are somewhat abbreviated practices and every bit of time is important.
June 3-August 2:
Ages 9-10; 11-12: 8am-9am Mon.-Thurs.
Ages 13-14; 15-18: 9am-10am Mon.-Thurs.
Ages 8 and Under: 5:00pm-5:45pm Mon., Tues., Thurs.
This year we will be doing an optional make up practice for our older swimmers the same evenings and times we have our 8 and under practices. If older swimmers can't make that particular morning practice, then there will be a somewhat shortened practice available in the evenings. Ideally though, we want to see everyone at the practices at the properly scheduled times with their teammates.
Make Up Age 9-18: 5:00-5:45pm Mon., Tues., Thurs.
Coaches:
This year, Coach Andersen will continue to be serving as our head coach. We will have several returning coaches, and several new coaches assisting, as well. The assistant coaches will be assigned different age groups to coach and be responsible for helping with at meets. Coach Andersen will be at different practices throughout the week, but will work with the assistant coaches on writing workouts and observing at practices. He will be at all meets.
Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. If you haven't joined our Remind class, please do! The class code is @valdese.
This is going to be a great summer!
