Schedule revision

We will be having our first morning workout of the year tomorrow morning from 7:45am-8:30am.  Swimmers and Divers will have these workouts at a maximum of 2 times a week on Monday's and Wednesday's in the Quest Center weight room.    Mondays will usually be 7:45am-8:30am and Wednesdays will be 6:45am-7:30am.

Attendance will be taken just like at normal practice and if you are absent without a parent contacting Jeremy ahead of time you will receive an unexcused absence.  If these aren't taken care of before a meet, you will not be able to compete.

Map of Calvin's Campus

Here is a map of a part of Calvin's campus.  We will only use the Venema Aquatic Center, Hoogenboom Health and Recreation Center and the North Hall.

For parking we will use either Lot 6 or Lot 7, you may drop swimmers & divers off at the turnaround or in lot 6 by the exterior doors, these doors will lock at 6:00pm on practice nights.  If you need to get in after 6:00pm you will have to enter the main entrance which is just off the turnaround.
