Weekly Highlights & Notes

No Meets – Start of Winter Moratorium

Per KSHSAA, there will be no formal practice or competitions from December 23rd through January 3rd. Coach Berg will be providing daily workouts for the boys via GroupText, but they are optional if you can find pool time. Practice will resume on January 4th.

The boys will be allowed to swim at the SMSDAC during open swim hours. They will be considered a guest and will have to follow JCPRD guidelines, including any applicable fees. Captains will be updating the GroupText with days, times, and locations of “informal” practices.

  • If they are not feeling well, they MUST stay home and contact one of the coaches. Athletes that stay home may not return to practice or competition until they have been cleared by the SMS school nurse.
  • There will be no locker rooms. Athletes coming from home should come to practice dressed in their swimsuit. Athletes coming from school will change in bathrooms. Gym bags will be stowed in the swim area.
  • Athletes will be split into groups and groups will spread out around the pool based on their lanes. You are not allowed to change lanes unless specified by a Coach. While on deck, every athlete and coach will wear a mask and maintain social distancing.
  • Athletes may not carpool with non-family. If the athlete is driving, make sure to fill out Transportation Form.
