IS MY CHILD READY FOR SWIM TEAM?

If your child is new to the swim team and they are 8 years old or younger, we offer a swim evaluation with Coach Ruthy O’Malley and Coach Michelle Bertram.

During the evaluation we will ask your child to get into the pool with a swim coach who will then spend a few minutes 1:1 assessing their comfort level in the pool. After the evaluation, we will let you know if your young swimmer (8 years or younger) is ready for the swim team (swim 15 yards with breathing) or would be better suited in our swim lesson program. 

• May 3rd 4:30-6:30 pm at Goldfish Swim School, Quincy Ave, Naperville
• A sign-up genius for evaluations will be sent separately.
• Email Kate Goebel at saybrookswimlessons@gmail.com. If you are unable to sign up.  We will work out a solution to accommodate all new and interested swimmers.

Swim practice is Monday through Friday, beginning on June 2 and continuing through July 18 for those swimmers swimming at Classic and July 25 for those swimming at City.  Swimmers should make an effort to be at practice every day to benefit from the training, conditioning and stroke work that the coaches provide. In the event that your swimmer cannot attend practice for several days in a row please let Coach Ruthy know in advance with a written note.

On cool mornings, (60 degrees or below) the coaches may lead the swimmers in dry land training and games. On those days swimmers should come to practice in warm ups and shoes.

Cancellation of practice will be emailed to all members through the TeamUnify email account. No practice will be held if there is lightning sighted.
