Walnut Creek Swim Club

Swimmers

Swimmers are expected to fully participate in the team: attend practices on a regular basis and swim the team meets. If a swimmer is going to miss practices or meets due to vacation, the coaches require notification in writing 10 days prior to the vacation. In case of any other absences, the coaches request that notice be given prior to meets so that other swimmers can be scheduled in events appropriately. Otherwise, swimmers are expected to arrive at meets on time and not miss their events.

"A" and "B" Teams

Because of the size and range of abilities on our team, our coaches divide the swimmers into an "A" Team and a "B" Team. Having two teams gives every swimmer a consistent chance to attend meets. "B" Swimmers may move up as needed at the coaches discretion. The roster for each meet will be posted on the bulletin board at practice on the day of the meet, and should be checked regularly.

Check the bulletin board and Swim Team Calendar carefully!

Stroke Lessons

This year the team is again pleased to make available free of charge stroke lessons immediately following the summer practices at 10am. Sessions will be 1/2 hour and will afford swimmers individual attention in small groups. Details and sign-up information will be made available at the Time Trials on Saturday, May 22, 2010.
