DOUGLAS DOLFINS SWIM TEAM
Practice Schedules
Each of the practice groups has their own schedule, sometimes overlapping with other groups. School session days are based on Douglas County public school schedules only (excluding Zephyr Cove Elementary). There is usually no practice on meet days, or on meet travel days – check with a coach. No practices on Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, and Labor Day. All other public holidays follow the School-OUT times, except Independence Day which occurs during the Summer Break schedule. See further explanation at bottom of this page.
Practice schedules are coordinated with Douglas County School bus schedules. Douglas County school buses stop next to the Swim Center each afternoon. Most of our swimmers ride the bus directly to practices. To arrange this for your child, first contact the school district’s Transportation Department (782-5194) and ask which bus route from your child’s school makes this stop. Then provide a note to the school and bus driver allowing your child to ride that route on their practice days.

TESTING WEEK SCHEDULES):
Practice groups up through Blue will be doing skills testing one week each
month. Testing does not necessarily mean your swimmer will be moving to a
new group soon. Please contact your coach with any questions.

PRACTICE DAYS ARE BASED ON Douglas County public school schedules only (excluding Zephyr Cove Elementary).
The first full week after ALL public schools have ended for the summer (early June), the Summer Break schedules begin. School IN/OUT schedules start on Monday of the week during which the FIRST schools start up again in late August, with School OUT times applying to those whose school have not yet opened. After ALL schools have started, on days when ANY of the public school levels (elementary, middle, and/or high) are IN session, the School-IN practice times apply to ALL swimmers. The School OUT times apply ONLY on days, during the regular school year, when ALL public school levels are out of session (public holidays, district-wide teacher in-service days, shared spring break and winter break days, etc.). There are usually practices on all public holidays except Christmas day, New Year’s day, July 4th pm, and July 5th am.
There may be occasional exceptions to the above guidelines - stay tuned to this web site, and don’t hesitate to ask a coach if you are unsure!
