Coach Matthew Beck
Practice/Attendance Information
Practice starts Monday, Oct. 17th.
- Practice is every day - Monday-Friday - from 5 - 6 PM. Swimmers should arrive no later than 4:30 for 30 minutes of dry land activity before getting in the pool at 5 PM.
- Location: Collins Hill Aquatic Center, 2200 Collins Hill Road, Lawrenceville 770.237.5647
- Muscle cramps have been an issue for some. Hydration, proper diet (especially dietary calcium, magnesium, and potassium) and stretching are huge in prevention of this problem.
- Prevention of swimmers ear is something it pays to be proactive about. A little SwimEar every night after practice will help avoid this problem.
- Parents, please be on time for pickup.
Attendance Expectations
- Attendance at practice is a mandatory 80% to compete in meets. Missing practice for any reason other than a prescheduled school function is an absence. No doctors notes, no “I did not feel well” will be accepted. That’s why we have lowered it to 80%, to take into account those aberrations.
- We will have some extra credit days, like the possibly during Thanksgiving Break, and also over Winter break (details below).
- Winter Break practice requirements: Yet to be determined. There may be some required days, or some days availbe for extra credit attendance. This should all be ironed out by registration.
