The swimmer's family must live in a home belonging to the Valencia Homeowners' Association. Noncompliance with these rules can result not only in disqualification of a swimmer, but also the team, so please let us know if there might be a problem. To practice with the team, swimmers must be able to swim across the width of the pool unaided. New team members must demonstrate this ability at the first practice. The purpose of practice is to prepare swimmers for meets.
Coaches work to condition swim muscles, build endurance, and improve swim technique.
Swim practice is not a substitute for swim lessons where individual attention can be given. Swim lessons are very important to improving swimming ability. Parents are not allowed at practice, other than those specifically requested to assist the coaches. We encourage parents with questions to save them for after or before all practices to give our coaches maximum time with our swimmers. This will help ensure practices run efficiently, safely, and without interruptions.
