    • IMPORTANT: These times have not been approved by the County. I have requested additional time which will allow these practices to be at the times shown here. If the County does not approve the additional time, the Monday/Wednesday practices 3 and 4 will be shortened by 10 minutes, practices from #4 will share cool down swimming with warm-up swimming for the last group which will remain a 60 minute practice.

    ** IMPORTANT: I have requested additional time to make this schedule. If it is not approved, the Bronze and Developmental group's practice will be significantly shortened to 30-40 minutes. If I am unable to find some additional practice time for you, you will receive a prorated refund for the shortened swimming time.

    Please note: Depending on biking interest, we may need to add a second biking group after everyone runs. This mean more skilled/experienced bikers will bike after running as opposed to biking prior to running. If this happens, it is likely everything will shift forward 30 minutes...unless I can find another qualified coach or coaches to split the group. Everything will still need to end by 4:15
