The practices are divided by age group.
Postseason (July 12th to July 25th)
After the final A meet (July 18th), we will begin to scale back practices in advance of the individual Divisionals (July 25th) and All Stars (August 1st) meets. For the first week, practices will be open to all swimmers but will focus on preparation for Divisionals. The final week of practice will be for swimmers who have qualified for or are alternatives for the NVSL All Star meet.
Tropical Storm (June 18th to July 17th)
Tropical Storm is a four week summer developmental swim program for swimmers who have progressed past swim lessons but are not quite ready for the swim team. Tropical Storm practices Monday through Friday in the mornings.
