Hello Tiger Splash families,

Practice Update: Canceled 5/11 & 5/12 (and possibly the full week)

Unfortunately, we need to postpone the start of the season once more due to the pool not being ready. The city is targeting Wednesday for completion, but we may need to wait until next week to begin. Please see the attached email from the City of Dripping Springs Parks & Community Services Director for additional details.

Practice schedule (5/13 - 5/28)

Session 1 (5:30pm-6:30pm): All swimmers age 6 & under; Boys 7 & 8

Session 2 (6:15pm-7:30pm): Girls 7 & 8; All swimmers 9 & 10

Session 3 (7:15pm-8:30pm): All swimmers 11 & over

• Practices are held Monday-Thursday each week (except Memorial Day). There are no minimum attendance requirements.
• Please check in with a JAV at the gate. This helps us track attendance for end-of-season awards.
• Swimmers may come onto the deck about 5 minutes before their session starts. Parents are not allowed on deck during practice.
• The first 15 minutes of each practice are dryland exercises.
• Swimmers should bring goggles and a towel. Swim caps are not required for practices or meets.
• Swimmers may wear any swimsuit/jammers for practice and swim meets.
• If you have swim fins, please bring them (we use them at least once per week). We’ll have a limited number available to borrow during practice, and SwimFreak will also have fins at the pop-up shop. Short fins are preferred; a budget-friendly option is Titan long fins, which can be trimmed to create a short fin.
