Practice Schedule

New 8 + Under Swimmers:

On Wednesday, May 22nd at 5pm (this is a CHANGE), there will be a MANDATORY Swim Test for all NEW 8 + Under Swimmers. This is to ensure the safety of all swimmers as well as to determine if the swimmer will join the Mini Marlin program, their swim team age bracket, or if swim lessons would be ideal. We will also provide new parents with a tour of the facility. If your swimmer is not able to attend the Swim Test, please contact Jennie Cook at SmoketreeSwimTeam@gmail.com for an alternate date/time.

Mini Marlin Program:

The Mini Marlin program is “generally” for swimmers who can swim at least half the length of the pool in any stroke, but are not quite ready for swim team. This is a great introduction to swim team to not only gain swimming skills but to also build confidence. Our goal is to have your Mini Marlin swimmer participate in a swim meet by the end of the season. Participants in this program will begin practice on Monday, June 3rd.

Mighty Marlins Swim Team:

If it is determined your swimmer is ready for the swim team, practices will begin immediately. Practices are Monday – Friday, with NO FRIDAY EVENING PRACTICE. We will only hold evening practices until the school year is closed. Beginning on June 3rd, there will be both morning and evening practices, with the exception of Friday evenings.

Practice times are subject to change. This may be the result of final group sizes once registration is complete in June.

NOTE: Once our swim meets begin, we will hold FUN practices on Wednesday mornings from 9:00-10:30am for all age groups. During this time, the coaches will provide feedback on the meet, lead competitive fun exercises, and build community within the team. Evening practices will remain unchanged.

Champs Practice: We will hold practice for Champs qualifiers beginning the evening of July 17th and will share the days/times later in the season.
