Garden Hills Cool Sharks

Swimmers may attend as many or as few practices as they like each week.

• Swimmers are automatically assigned to age groups based on their age as of 5/31/2026 (this is the ASA league cutoff date).
• Morning practices tend to be far less crowded than evening practices.
• Combined practices (10 & under, 11 & over) will separate age groups into different lanes with different workouts.
• Practices begin with 15 minutes of stretch/dryland.
• Please try to attend at least 3 practices per week (to be competitive, older swimmers should try to attend every day).
• Swimmers must be part of the team and attend practices to participate in meets - club swimmers should balance Cool Sharks practice with club practice.
• The week of June 22 will have a modified schedule, with regular practice Monday morning, a regular meet Monday evening, and special practices Tuesday morning and evening for Championship swimmers only (ASA Championship meet will be Wed afternoon). 
• Please note that practice schedules are subject to change throughout the season.

IMPORTANT - Parents are not allowed on the pool deck or inside the pool facility at any time while the pool is closed (even if you are a member). This includes not walking your child in for practice. Parents (and siblings) who are not pool members must remain outside the facility during members-only hours in June.

All swimmers must practice with their assigned age group. We cannot honor requests to swim with siblings or friends. Swimmers may not attend a different practice session for the parent's convenience, and advanced swimmers may not "swim up". Please be sure your swimmer is able to attend with his/her age group before registering.
