We did it! It’s Memorial Day Weekend, the “unofficial” start to Summer! The Avonworth Swim Board was recently given our preseason pool time from the Avonworth Community Pool and all our preseason information is included below!
Standard Preseason Practice Times (Use the Swimmer’s Age on 6/1/26):
Age 8 & Under Swimmers: 5:30-6:30 PM
Age 9-10 Swimmers: 6:30-7:30 PM
Age 11 & Over Swimmers: 7:30-8:30 PM (no practice for this age group on Tue. 5/26)
All practices are at the Avonworth Community Pool. Swimmers who swim with a long course club team are encouraged to continue practicing with their team and to come to Alligator practice when their schedule permits.
This will be our practice schedule for May 26 – June 5. On June 8th, regular morning practices will start and all Alligators will be grouped (that info will come out by June 5th).
Please note, there are a few exceptions to our schedule.They are as follows:
On Tuesday 5/26, there will be no 11 & Over Practice due to the online parent meeting that evening at 8 PM.
On Thursday 5/28, the Avonworth Community Pool is not available to us, so there is no practice that day.
On Thursday 6/4, we will be hosting our Practice Mock Meet that night so that will replace practice that evening.
Again, we will have practice on Tue. 5/26 (for 10 & Under Swimmers), and for all swimmers on Wed. 5/27, Fri. 5/29, Mon. 6/1, Tue. 6/2, Wed. 6/3, and Fri. 6/5.
See everyone at the pool next week!
