Swimmers on the CSL team, must participate in a minimum of 3 practices within a given week to be eligible to swim in that Saturday's Meet. Failure to do so may result in not being selected to swim in that Saturday meet. Final decision on Saturday Meet selection rests with the Head Coach. Swimmers currently participating in a year round swimming program may have a modified attendance policy by special arrangement with the Head Coach. Swimmers on the Mini-Ray Team or the Stingray ODSL team do not have an attendance policy. In all cases the coaches want to be notified if a swimmer will be absent from practice and/or meets.

The policy during inclement weather is practice & meets will be conducted in the rain. If there is lighting and/or thunder the pool is closed for 45 minutes. In that case a decision is made at the pool if we are going to wait out the storm or cancel the event.

What this means...
During Saturday morning meets the problem is usually steady rain forecast for the morning as opposed to Thunderstorms. Under this situation if it's off and on rain and/or light drizzle we usually conduct the meet. If the rain is heavy we will cancel the event. Starting Monday morning practice, during rain, we will conduct dry land training (running, ballgames, fun games as appropriate.) Unless there is obvious Thunderstorm Activity please report to the pool to determine if practice is a go.

During Wednesday night meets, the problems usually involve Thunderstorms. Under this situation the pool is closed for 45 minutes from the last report of lightening/thunder. These afternoon storms usually pass and we do resume the meet.

In all cases the decision to practice or conduct a meet is determined at the pool. If the weather activity is clearly severe - all efforts will be made to "email" a cancellation notice as soon as possible and/or post a notice on the pool side entrance. We do try to conduct a meet if at all possible since make-up meets are usually difficult to accomplish. But in all cases COMMON SENSE is the theme.
