Summer Season to Continue Through August - Fall/Winter Starts Sept 11
The summer season will continue through the month of August and we hope everyone continues to practice with us during that time. Our current practice schedule using both Eisenhower and Nelson Center pools will continue through July 31st. After that time the practice schedule may change as our pool contract has us swimming exclusively at Eisenhower after that time (more specific practice times/locations will follow) We also have the End of Summer meet in Decatur on August 14th which we encourage all of our swimmers to participate in.
Our fall/winter season will begin the week of September 11 and we hope everyone continues to swim with the team this fall/winter. We are currently working on all details of our fall/winter season (practice schedules, meet schedules, parties etc) and will have those to our families in the next couple weeks. We have lots of exciting things planned and hope your family joins in on the fun!
