Good morning, Flyers Families!

I want you to know that we have heard your feedback, and we truly appreciate everyone who reached out regarding Friday practice times. We understand that school dismissal times, bus schedules, traffic, work schedules, and family responsibilities can make getting to practice challenging.

After speaking with Coach Chris, reviewing parent feedback, and looking closely at school dismissal times, we have made an adjustment to the Friday schedule for our Silver 1 and Silver 2 groups.

Our goal is to find the best middle ground possible and make practice accessible to as many swimmers as we can. We also understand that no schedule will work perfectly for every family, but we hope this change will help.

FLYERS FRIDAY PRACTICE

Silver 1: 4:45–6:00 PM
Silver 2: 5:45–7:00 PM

For our Silver 1 families who may have difficulty arriving by 4:45 PM because of school or transportation, please get here as soon as you reasonably can. We understand that some swimmers may arrive a little late.

If your swimmer will be arriving after practice has started, please help us by making sure they are completely ready to enter the water when they arrive—suit on, goggles ready, and prepared to join the group. This will help Coach Chris get them into practice quickly and maximize their time in the water.

While we cannot create an individual practice schedule around every school, bus, or family schedule, Coach Chris and I will do our best to make sure swimmers receive a meaningful and productive practice when they arrive, within the time and space we have available.

Thank you for working with us and for continuing to communicate your concerns. We are trying to balance the needs of many families while also maintaining consistent, quality practices for all of our swimmers.

We appreciate your flexibility, patience, and support of the Flyers!

Best, 

Caroline del Carmen
