Hi Beluga Nation!

You'll be excited to hear that we are in the process of finalizing the 2021 Belugas Season!  More information will come out soon, but we wanted to give people a heads up on the plans so you can be prepared. 

New this year: Competive Group: 

We will be fielding a “competitive group”. Swimmers choosing to opt in to that will need to pay extra for meet entry fees (there will be 2 Tuesday “away” meets for the competitive group), and they will have to sign the ASA liability waiver.  More details to come.

Changes for 2021 

This year safety is the name of the game as COVID is still present. Given that, and the pool is preserving the member reservation practice implemented last summer, the team is making some changes to our typical norms and schedule:

• First, we are cutting the enrollment cap in half to 50 for this year in order to maintain safe distancing in the pool. This will allow us to limit the number of swimmers per lane during our 2 practice sessions. If registration requests go over the cap, we will prioritize pool members.
• Swim team managers and Head Coach Adrienne are fully vaccinated.
• Mask protocol will be followed when swimmers are inside the pool house.
• Afternoon practices during the month of May will begin an hour earlier, so as not to interfere with the 6-9 pm reservation time slot.
• Breakfast of Champions will be held on the pool deck instead of the party room, be limited to one hour, and will be cleared out before Water Wings arrives.

Also, this year kids have to be able to swim the length of the pool unassisted. On the first day of practice they will be tested, and if they cannot swim the length of the pool their registration will be refunded.

Proposed Swim Team Schedule:

• Afternoon Practice 4:30-6:00 pm M-Th begins Monday May 10^th.
• No practice Memorial Day
• Morning Practice 7:00-9:00 am M-Th begins June 1^st.
• 3 Saturday Morning Practices: 7:45-8:45 am 6/5, 6/12, 6/19
• 3 Swim Meets on Thursday evenings 4:00-8:00 pm: 6/10, 6/17, 6/24
• Breakfast of Champions: 7:45-8:45 am Saturday June 26

We look forward to Swimming Happy with you all in 2021!
