Hi BTC 2025 Team-

I have sent many reminders through the BTC email platform, but this marks the first of many emails you will be receiving from me through this Swimtopia platform. So welcome and stay tuned for many more details to come throughout the course of the season!

Pre-season practices start tomorrow and run for the next 2 weeks, Monday- Thursday (no Friday)!

The schedule goes as follows:

Advanced- 4:30-6pm.

Intermediate- 5-6pm.

Beginner- 5:30-6pm.

*Note: We cannot accommodate juniors or very new beginner swimmers in this pre-season practice group. If your swimmer is able to swim multiple lengths of the pool in a relatively crowded lane then this is the practice for them. We want to make this a positive experience for all. The worst thing we could do at this point is scare off a new swimmer before the regular season even starts.

**Note: More on not scaring off beginner swimmers, please consider the weather conditions. These are early season conditions, the pool is not up to a warm pool temp for swimmers that are not consistently swimming. So if it is cold and wet outside it will be even colder and wetter in the pool. This type of day might be a good day for beginners to avoid. Know your swimmer and know the conditions. 

That said, I am so excited to kick off the 2025 summer swim season! See you all at the pool soon!

Coach Hilary
