Practice Schedule

---

1.  Swimmers entering the pool deck can only enter with their goggles, shoes, and a water bottle if they choose to bring one.  NO OTHER PERSONAL ITEMS may come into the pool deck.  This includes, but is not limited to, towels, cell phones, and swim covers/street clothes.  All personal items MUST be left OUTSIDE OF THE POOL FENCE  (Swimmers will exit the pool from the pavilion side gate at the end of practice, so swimmers may wish to keep their items outside the pavilion side of the pool).  

• We strongly discourage swimmers from bringing personal items to practice. 
• For those that bring personal items, we encourage swimmers to keep their personal items separate from anyone else’s personal items.
• Please note – neither the swim team nor the QRA can be responsible for any personal items left outside the gate.  

2.  Once inside the pool deck, swimmers will be directed by the coaches to stand at one of the cones that will be placed on the deck according to social distancing regulations; one swimmer per cone.  Swimmers should not touch the gates/fences, any tables, or each other.  

• Please note – the coaches will make their best attempts to enforce social distancing regulations while the swimmers are inside the pool gate.  However, their number one priority will be COACHING.  Please review social distancing guidelines with your swimmers.
• The swim team nor the QRA can be held responsible for enforcing social distancing in any area outside of the pool deck.  This includes, but is not limited to, the foursquare area, the grassy areas around the outside of the pool fence, the parking lot, or the park.

3.  When swimmers are not actively swimming in the water, they must return to their cone to wait for further instructions.

4.   When practice has ended, swimmers will exit the pool deck out the gate by the pavilion.  No swimmers will be allowed to remain on the pool deck after their practice session is complete.  Coaches cannot be responsible for swimmers once practice is complete as they will need to sanitize the equipment for the next group.

5.  Parents/guardians/babysitters/siblings will NOT be allowed inside of the pool deck during swim practice.  Feel free to bring a chair and sit outside of the pool fence on the pavilion side where you will be able to see everything happening at practice.  

6.  Due to the nature of the sport; masks will not be required for swimmers or coaches as they will be in and out of the water.

7.  Please have your swimmers use the bathroom BEFORE coming to practice.  The bathrooms will be locked and unavailable (except for emergencies!) during swim practice.
