Hi Everyone,
As we begin our season in earnest, I wanted to share with everyone a couple of updates about practices. First off, we have confirmed the rental space needed for land drill (thank again to Erin for handling all of that!). Each group will have 30 minutes of land drill time prior to their early practice day (each group will only land drill once a week).
Sundays at Templeton: Land drill from 7:00 - 7:30 pm in the Dance Room (the room immediately to your left when you come in through the main entrance) for those who swim at 7:30 pm.
Wednesdays at Britannia: Land drill from 8:15 - 8:45 pm in the Mat Room (see attached directions) for those who swim at 8:45 pm.
**Important information for everyone about Britannia Pool** For those of you who are new to VMS, this will be your first time training at Britannia Pool. There are a couple of things you should know.
1) It can be a little tricky to find your way around the complex, especially when it's dark in the evening. I've attached a map (both in a PDF form, and as a screen shot, depending on which shows up better on your device). The parking lot is free, and is located just west of the pool (across the way from the ice rink). The mat room is located in a separate building from the pool (although they're very close); it's just up the stairs from the main pool entrance.
2) If you train first on Wednesdays, we don't have the whole pool rented
until 9:00 pm. For the first 15 minutes, we have two lanes only. Please be mindful of others during your warm up!
3) If you train second on Wednesdays, the main entrance door will likely be locked. Instead, use the side door, which we prop open (just follow the sound of the blasting music...). Finally, everyone must be out of the facility by 11 pm, so change quickly!
That's it for now. Here's to a great start to the competitive season!
Meghan
