Kay Brook Green Hills Swim Club
Providing aquatic fun and enjoyment for members in a safe, family-oriented environment.
After school practices begin approximately two weeks before school ends. 6th grade and above will practice from 3:45 to 4:45 and 5th grade and below will practice from 4:45 to 5:30. After School Practices are held Monday through Friday until school finishes. When the last day of school is early dismissal there is no after school practice. Morning practices start the first full day of summer vacation for Parkland School District. For after school practice we know you have other commitments so just come along whenever you can.
Before school finishes: 4.30pm to 5.30pm. The 6th grade and above can finish their swim workout early to go and dive if they wish to or just start immediately after their swim workout, the 5th grade and below can dive from 4.30 to 5.00 and then join the swim workout from 5.00 to 5.30pm. If they prefer to stay at diving practice rather than join swim practice that is also fine.
These are helpful for the kids as they are able to get one on one attention from coaches. 10&Unders will be from 10-11 and 11&Overs will be from 11-12. They are not mandatory.
Time trials are held so we can see where the kids are at in swimming after the first two weeks of practice. Also we can use these results for the first meet line-up. All age groups are at the same time, it will be held like a swim meet. 15&Overs do not need to attend time trials. If you cannot make time trials make-ups will be held during your child’s practice time during the next week.
Every child will be placed into a group: Blue, White, and Dolphins. These groups practice at different times. The group your child is put in is determined by the coaches and based on factors such as ability, age, and commitment. The group your child is put in can change due to him/her working hard and showing improvement. Dolphins will practice from 9.00 to 9.45, the white group will practice from 9.45 to 10.45 and the Blue group will practice from 10.45 to 12 noon. These groups will come into effect once morning practices start.
Blue group 10-11am; the Blue group can join swim practice any time they like between 10.45 and 11am. White 10.45-11.45 immediately after swim practice, Dolphins 10-11am.
Swimmers need to be at the pool (home or away) by 4:45 pm. Warm-ups will start at 5. Diving starts at 6 and the swim meet starts immediately after the diving. This is usually about 6:30 pm but it can be earlier or later. If you know your child will be away for a swim meet please fill out a vacation form ASAP! Vacation forms can be found in a folder marked “Vacation Forms” in the mailbox bin. And place the finished vacation form in Jon Thielen's mailbox. Also parents, please sign up to volunteer at swim meets!
Pancakes will be served after your child’s practice time. Swimmers will come to their usual morning practice time only when they are done with practice they will be served breakfast.
You will be given forms found in your mailbox. You can get an individual package for your child. There will also be a team picture taken. Pictures will start at 9 AM. Please arrive by 8:45 so we can get the group picture right at 9:00. We will take the individual pictures immediately after the group photo. The photos may take a while, so please be patient. We will get everyone through the line as quickly as possible.
We will be using a new "one-year" suit this year. Suits can be purchased at sign-ups, or through A&H Sportswear in Emmaus. The model is "Cubicle" made by Speedo.
