A NOTE ON WEATHER- OR FACILITY-RELATED PRACTICE CANCELLATIONS

We practice rain or shine unless the facility is closed (for example, for an unsafe drop in water quality) or for severe weather (AQI is greater than 150 or there are thunderstorms). We will communicate any unforeseen practice cancellations to registered families by email. There are no make-up practices for weather- or facilities-related practice cancellations or for practice holidays.  

A NOTE ON TENTATIVE PRACTICE TIMES

The tentative clinic practice groupings and times listed are subject to change based on the number and composition of the swimmers who register. If we have too many swimmers in a practice group and need to split it up, or too few swimmers in a practice group and need to consolidate it with another group, your swimmers' practice times may shift from the tentative practice times currently posted. We will communicate changes to the tentative schedule as early as possible, and do our best to accommodate requests to transfer your swimmers between practice times in the event that practice schedule changes are required. To keep the swimmers safe, and to preserve the harmony and effectiveness of practices, the WCST board, with input from Head Coach Kim, will review and approve individual swimmer transfers between practice times. If you need to request a transfer to a practice time other than the one assigned, please email [email protected] to have your request reviewed and approved by the WCST Board.
