Maroon and Gray practice groups

Due to lane restrictions this season, we are dividing our team into two groups for practice times – Maroon and Gray. You will practice with the same group of swimmers throughout the season. 

• Maroon practice group – All seniors, all juniors, any sophomores that represented State High at the PIAA State Championships in 2020
• Gray practice group – All freshman and any returning sophomores that did NOT attend PIAA State Championships in 2020

Preparing for practice

Here are a few tips for your first week of practice:

• Masks – Masks must be worn at all times when you are not in the pool. Please wear your mask onto the deck and put it back on when you exit the pool.
• Equipment – The team will provide equipment/equipment bags to all swimmers. You may bring your own equipment if you prefer. Equipment bags may be left at the pool between practices.
• Locker rooms – Locker rooms are available, but are limited to no more than 15 swimmers at a time. Please minimize time in the locker rooms and follow social-distancing rules. Remember to wear your mask in the locker room.
• Sign up for Remind notifications – Text @scsd20 to 81010 to receive important updates from coaches
• Read the weekly update – Every week we publish an updated list of reminders and important information. We'll send a notice via Remind when it's available. READ THE WEEKLY UPDATES! They are an important part of our team communications.
