Practice Schedule
Swim Team Season: June 29th - August 9th
Practices held Monday-Thursday mornings at the Outdoor Pool
PRACTICE DROP-OFF & PICK-UP
11 & Up: 7:00am-8:10am
10 & Under: 8:10am-9:00am
Swimmers may arrive early for practice but will not be permitted on the pool deck until 6:55am and 8:05am respectively. Swimmers will check in with Coach Sarah & Coach Jim upon arrival. The back gate will be closed 10 minutes after each practice begins for safety and security purposes. This will be a closed practice - parents, families, and unaffiliated Hampshire Hills members will NOT be allowed on deck during practice times. Personal belongings should not be left behind after practice.
All swimmers should be dropped off and picked up at the back gate of the Outdoor Pool. Parents may drive through the Camp Ponemah drop off circle (by the Function Field), and may stay on campus for the duration of practice if they so choose. Swimmers that are club members may enter through the front entrance of the club, but are expected to avoid the Indoor Pool so as not to disrupt early morning classes. The expectation will be to bypass the Indoor Pool and use the doors next to the Cafe, passing through the old shuffleboard courts to get to the Outdoor Pool.
Families are also welcome to utilize the English Garden, picnic area, playgrounds, and walking trails during practice times. Free-swimming is NOT permitted for non-members at any of our pools before, during, or after practice.
All swimmers will need to promptly vacate the Outdoor Pool after practice, as member lap swim begins at 9am sharp.
