Next Week’s Revised Practice Schedule

May 31st

The first week of Penguin practice is in the books. Thank you for a wonderful first week!

Our Coaches have carefully considered the levels of experience of our Penguin swimmers and we have revamped the practice schedule to ensure that all our Penguin swimmers get the attention and instruction they deserve. We have created four levels of Penguin swimmer experience:

  • Little Blue Penguins ~ Beginning swimmers who are learning the elements of freestyle and backstroke
  • Rockhopper Penguins ~ Inexperienced swimmers who are able to swim the length of the pool and are in the process of learning the strokes
  • Macaroni Penguins ~ Developing swimmers who are able to swim most of the strokes legally and will most likely swim most Dual A Meets
  • Emperor Penguins ~ Experienced swimmers who are able to swim all four strokes legally and will swim all Dual A Meets

Please note that the ability level that we have identified for your swimmer is flexible as we see improvements of swimmer technique over the season.

Below is the revised Penguin Practice schedule for the next two weeks until MCPS gets out for the summer:

  • 4:30 - 5:30 = Emperor & Macaroni
  • 5:30 - 6:00 = Little Blues 1
  • 6:00 - 6:30 = Little Blues 2
  • 6:30 - 7:15 = Rockhoppers

Please note that due to the ability group practices, there are no make-up practice opportunities. If your swimmer has to miss a practice in the next two weeks, we completely understand and look forward to seeing them at their next ability group scheduled practice.

Here are a few reminders for our second week of practices:

  • Ensure your swimmer brings their swim cap, goggles, water bottle, and kick board if they have one to every practice.
  • Your swimmer should use the bathroom BEFORE practice starts!
  • Make sure your swimmer checks in with their Poplar Run pool pass & signs the attendance sheet in the PR Penguins Binder with the Gate Guards.
  • Remind your swimmer to listen to the coaches and pay attention during practices.
