Meets: We continue to carefully plan for traditional, in-person dual meets with our competitor teams. We also need to monitor the safety status of the community at the time of swim team start and the confines of all (state, county, pool) regulations. Just like everyone else, the league is waiting to see what happens in the near future and what state and Jeffco restrictions may or may not be in place. PCST will also be respecting individual pool requirements which, in some instances, may be stricter than the state, county and/or Normandy Pool. Virtual meets are definitely a possibility, but we know we can make those fun, too.

Schedule Updates: The State Meet has moved to July 23-25, therefore, the league meet will be moved up one week. Specific dual meet schedules are in the approval process and should be finalized by May 5 with a reconfirmation by May 17. The updated draft schedule is on the website.

Pre-Season Practices: We are working with Normandy on potentially holding pre-season practices the week prior to Memorial Day. This may be the time for new swimmer evaluations. We will keep you updated on that schedule.

Morning Practices: Morning practice times have been updated on the website. In summary, Practice 1 6:20-7:40am; Practice 2 7:35-8:40am; Practice 3 8:35-9:45am. Practice times are ability and age-based and will be determined by the head coach.

Team Get Together: We traditionally hold a team BBQ the first night of practice. In lieu of a BBQ, we’re planning a socially-distanced meet and greet outside the pool grounds on the soccer field on June 1. You are encouraged to bring your own seating (grass has some thistles!) and food. The team gear you ordered from Out of Breath (store open on website - due May 2) will be handed out to families at this event. More information will be given closer to the date.

Masks: Jeffco recently indicated masks are no longer required at outdoor events. However, as a league, SJSL has made mask wearing a requirement for all outdoor events (meets and practices). Masks will be worn at all times on pool grounds by athletes (when not in the water), spectators, coaches, volunteers, etc.

Pool Memberships: Discounted pool memberships are available to registered families until May 1. Contact Peggy at [email protected].

Register: Remember to register! Some of our age groups are nearing capacity, so don’t wait too long.

As a reminder, all previous team communications are available for reference on Swimtopia for registered users under About/News.
