Please arrange for your rides to be there at or before 12 noon. All athletes must check in with the Deck Coach once you are ready to swim.
The Practice Squad are athletes who do not want to compete or are in other sports but may want to accomplish some conditioning. Practice Squad members are welcome to participate in drills.
Practices will be at the District Aquatics Center (DAC) at Thomas Jefferson Middle School in Port Washington.
You must attend at least 8 practices to qualify for the competition. We will give allowances for inclement weather or if the pool breaks down. Again, 8 practice sessions.
