Attendance Policy
The following practice guidelines are designed to provide the best possible practice environment for all ESC swimmers.
- How often a swimmer attends practice depends on age and the training group. These guidelines are set to promote optimal progress for each individual. Too much or too little practice time will limit results. Practice expectations are as follows:
- Gator I-2-3x per week
- Gator II-2-3x per week
- Gator III-3-4x per week
- Junior Prep-4-6x per week
- Junior-5-6x per week
- Senior-5-8x per week
- Always be present at the pool at least 10 minutes before the scheduled start of practice in order to start on time and use the allotted time. Swimmers should not be on deck until the coach is ready at the scheduled practice start time.
- Plan to stay the entire practice. The last part of practice is very often the most important and reminders and announcements are made at this time. Swimmers need to be picked up no later than 15 minutes after practice. Coaches have to stay and wait until swimmers are picked up, so please be respectful of their time.
- All equipment should be brought to the deck for each practice. See the equipment information for each group.
