Practice Policies
- Swimmers may attend only 1 practice per day
- If your child swims on another team during the summer such as CATY, RAC, or GBSA please only allow them to attend one practice per day. Either Wynnewood or their other team. We don't want them to get burned out.
- If you can practice in the morning, please do so. The evening practices get crowded
- When you are finished practice, please leave the practice area so the other groups can practice without distraction
