All practices start at Alga Norte Aquatic Center. The club is working to secure Tuesday and/or Thursday pool time, which would move one of the weekend practices for 12u Silver and 12u Black to a weekday. An updated schedule follows once those times are confirmed.

Put the season on your calendar

Pick your son's program. You get one file with every practice through November 22 plus all the season deadlines, already titled with times and pool addresses. Open it and your calendar app offers to add the whole set at once. Works with Google Calendar, iPhone and Outlook.

On iPhone the file opens in a preview first. Tap Add All to load the season. Practice times may shift once Monroe Street Pool reopens, so watch for the club's updated schedule.
