Practice Policies

  1. All Old Pike Club rules apply during all swim practices and lessons.
  2. All swimmers must attend the practice time as designated by their age group.
  3. Parents are not allowed on the pool deck during practice.
  4. Only swimmers swimming in their designated practice time can be in the pool and on the pool deck during practice.
  5. Be on the pool deck 10 minutes before practice is scheduled to begin to use as a time to stretch.
  6. Daily practices are used to build strength, improve skills, and increase speed. Swimmers should attend daily practices. If a swimmer finds it necessary to miss practice, please advise the coach(es) as soon as possible
  7. For the safety of all swimmers, please do not talk to the coaches or swimmers while they are on deck or in the pool. Any questions or concerns must be directed to the coach by email or with one of the swim coordinators.
  8. We will practice in the rain. In the event of lightning, we will cancel practice. You will be notified via email, website, and Facebook as soon as the decision has been made.
  9. In case of thunder or lightning occurring during practice, the coach will make the call to cancel practice and follow proper procedures to evacuate the facility.
  10. Team suits may be worn to practice, but keep in mind the colors will fade and fabrics will stretch with exposure to chlorine over time. Many swimmers use 1-2 suits for practice and reserve the team suit for meets.

Equipment

Your swimmer(s) will need a swim suit, goggles, swim cap, kickboard, fins, and a towel at each practice. 

Team suits and caps are offered for purchase but are not required. Any suit or cap will be fine.  

Old Pike does have some kickboards and fins to borrow but not enough for everyone. Please provide your own if possible.
