Practice Notes
We meet year around, and spilt the year into seasons based on meet schedules and age groups. Our coaches arrange dual meets, both at home and with other teams of similar size and skill level. Our goal is to have swimmers participate in as many meets as possible. Participation in USS Invitational meets are decided on by the coach.
